60.5 Licensing
60.5.1 Registration with a license key ¶
After the purchase you receive a license key. Main menu → Enter license key… opens the registration window:
Registration window with input field for the license key
- Enter the license key - the corresponding license file is then downloaded automatically
- On success, the window confirms: “Registration was successful. Thank you!”
The Go to order page button leads to purchasing a license key.
60.5.2 Manual registration without internet access ¶
If the license file cannot be downloaded automatically (e.g. firewall/proxy), the window offers the manual download path:
- Open the displayed license file link in a browser (on another machine if necessary) and save the file
- Place the file in the application data folder (Open application data folder)
- Click Retry registration
60.5.3 Viewing the license status ¶
Main menu → About… shows the program version and license information (see chapter 2.1).
In addition, the title bar of the main window shows the current license status: “Lifetime license” or “License valid until ” for registered licenses, “Demo ( days)” during the trial period, and “Trial period expired” after it has ended.
60.5.4 Trial period and license expiration ¶
Without a license key, the program can be tested for 30 days; on startup, the number of remaining trial days is shown. During the trial period, the number of profiles is limited to two - the full version has no restrictions whatsoever. If the license is about to expire (from 14 days before) or the trial period or license has expired, a red notice bar appears above the log area - clicking it opens the registration window. After the trial period has expired, automatic processing is stopped and the program prompts for registration on startup.
