Activate a license key

Your Personal license key arrives by email after purchase. Enter it in Recordstead to make paid processing available on this Mac.

  1. Open Settings… (⌘,) and select License.
  2. Paste your key into License key. You can name this Mac before activation.
  3. Click Activate License. Confirm the pane says License active.

Your result: paid processing is available on this Mac. Personal covers version 1.x and its updates on two Macs. Save your key somewhere safe for a second Mac or a reinstall. There is no public email lookup or self-service key recovery. If you have lost it, contact support from the purchase email address.

If activation fails, read the message in the License pane. For a connection error, reconnect and click Activate License again. Try Again refreshes the access status; it does not resubmit your key. If the key is for another product version, use the version it covers; a 1.x key does not activate a later major version. If both Mac slots are occupied, manage the Macs on your license.

If paid access ends, new processing may stop after the next access check. An existing offline authorization may last until its signed cutoff. Your local meetings and exports remain on your Mac.
