Already have a license key?
••••••••••••••••••••Activate
Enter the key from your purchase receipt.
The pane is the licensing surface: a status banner that reflects your current state (trial countdown, locked, or active), the Pro plan, the Pro feature grid, and license-key activation. For unregistered users the purchase buttons are ordered to be visible without scrolling.
Trial
- Full access: every Pro feature, starting from first launch. Granted once per Mac.
- The trial start date is stored securely through server registration, with hourly background checks for expiry.
Licensing model
- Yearly subscription: every Pro feature while active; renews automatically; cancel any time.
- Loyalty renewals: from your first renewal you pay loyalty pricing ($45/yr instead of $59), applied automatically.
- After your subscription ends: every version released while you were subscribed keeps working forever, on the Macs that were set up on the license at expiry. You can remove Macs, but adding or re-adding one needs an active subscription — resubscribe to add Macs or get newer versions.
- Macs covered: one license covers the Macs in your home, up to 5 at once. While your subscription is active you can deactivate one Mac and activate another any time.
Pane states
| State | What the pane shows |
|---|---|
| Pro active | Green confirmation, updates-through date, masked license key, and Deactivate. |
| Trial running | Days remaining, the value pitch, plans, and activation. |
| Trial ended | A locked banner (your layouts, workspaces, and settings are preserved), plus plans and activation. Second-hand Macs whose trial was consumed before first install get a support contact link instead. |
| License revoked | "License no longer active" (refunded/revoked) with a path back to the store. |
| Version not covered | "Renew your subscription to use this version" (the strict version gate; renew to use this build). |
| Couldn't verify | Offline grace: connect to the internet and Pro restores automatically once a check succeeds. Layouts and settings are preserved meanwhile. |
Activation and deactivation
- Buy a license: the pane's plan button opens the store.
- Paste the license key from your purchase receipt into Already have a license key? and click Activate.
To move to another Mac: Deactivate on the old Mac (the server releases the device binding; you must be online), then activate on the new one — free to do as often as you like while your subscription is active. After it ends, the license keeps working only on the Macs that were set up at expiry, and activating a new or previously removed Mac requires resubscribing.
