FAQs
- Is it a subscription?
- No. You pay once, the software will work forever as long as you have your license key.
- How many computers can I use it on?
- The license key lets you use the software on up to two computers at once, they don't have to use the same operating system, and a license can be easily moved if you get a new computer. If you need to use it on 3 machines, we're happy to update your license to allow it, at no cost. If you need more seats or a floating license setup, we can do that too - contact us for pricing and details.
- Does the license expire?
- The license key has an expiry date - a year from when you first activate it. When it expires, it's still valid, you just don't get updates anymore. If you download a version of the software released after your license expires, it won't work.
