I have paid, but I don't have my license.
Your license is automatically sent to you through email after you have finished paying. Please check you junk mail folder for an email from "owner@fieryferret.com." If you still cannot find your license, send an email to support@fieryferret.com to have us send it to you again.

I can't see the online puzzles or submit new puzzles.
Check to see that your firewall is not blocking Lumen. Lumen makes a database connection on port 3306.

Why can't I see the puzzles I have submitted on another computer?
When you submit a puzzle, the puzzle is cached on your computer so you can see it immediately. Your puzzle will not show up online (and on other computers) until Fiery Ferret has reviewed and approved your puzzle.

Can I save a puzzle without submitting it online?
Yes, Lumen has the ability to save and open puzzle files. To save a puzzle file select "Save Puzzle To File" from the Puzzles menu.

I have trouble distinguishing between the colors in the game.
For those of us who can not easily see what color a part is, you can see the color of each part written out in text. To do this, select "Show Color Hints" from the Help menu and hover the mouse over any of the colored parts.

How do I install Lumen?
Lumen is easy to install. On OS X, simply drag the application from the disk image into your application folder (or anywhere else) and run it from there. On Windows, all you need to do is unzip the folder and place Lumen.exe wherever you would like. No other installation is necessary.

How do I uninstall Lumen?
To uninstall Lumen, delete Lumen.app on OS X, or Lumen.exe on Windows. You may also want to remove the support files. On OS X these files are located at /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Lumen/. On Windows these files are located at C:/Documents and Settings/Username/Application Data/Lumen/.
