Activate License

Paid activation is a local app flow for the initial launch. Download the public DMG, then import the signed personal license file delivered after purchase. PastePrompt verifies the file locally.

Steps​

  1. Complete purchase or receive a license through support.
  2. Download the license file.
  3. Open PastePrompt.
  4. Open the license area.
  5. Choose Import License or the equivalent activation action.
  6. Select the license file.
  7. Confirm the app shows the expected plan.
  8. Try a paid feature, such as Git diff mode or Markdown export, if your plan includes it.

The app download is not secret. The license file is personal to the buyer email and should not be shared with other users.

Expected status states​

The exact labels may vary by release, but the license area should make the state clear:

  • Free: no paid license is active.
  • Pro active: a Pro license or subscription is accepted.
  • Founder active: a Founder license is accepted.
  • Expired: the license is recognized but no longer grants paid feature access.
  • Invalid: the file cannot be verified or does not match the expected format.

If the UI is ambiguous, treat the license as not activated and contact support with the app version and sanitized error text.

Privacy notes​

License import should not require uploading repository contents, generated bundles, prompt history, or selected file paths. Payment and customer records may be handled by the configured checkout provider, but source-code context should stay separate from that flow.

Do not​

  • Edit the license file.
  • Share the license publicly.
  • Commit the license file to a repository.
  • Send repository contents when asking for license support.
  • Send license secrets in screenshots or public issue trackers.
