License and activation

Choose a plan

Start with the 7-day trial to try Pocket Paste in your own workflow. The pricing page shows the current plans, currencies and checkout total. Lifetime plans cover 1, 2 or 3 Macs. For any fixed-term license, refer to the term and device allowance shown on your purchase.

The introductory lifetime prices in USD are:

Plan	Price	Term	Devices
Lifetime 1 Mac	$6.99	Lifetime	1 Mac
Lifetime 2 Macs	$9.99	Lifetime	2 Macs
Lifetime 3 Macs	$12.99	Lifetime	3 Macs

Always check the current price and terms at checkout. Keep access to the email address used for your purchase.

Activate the app

1. Open Pocket Paste → Settings → License.
2. Follow the activation option shown in your installed version. If it asks for a license key, paste the key from your purchase email and choose Activate.
3. Confirm the app displays an active license and the expected plan or expiry date.

Activation registers this Mac against the license. It needs access to the licensing service. If all device slots are in use, release an unused Mac before trying again.

Sign in to License Portal

1. Open License Portal.
2. Enter the email address used for the purchase and choose Send code.
3. Find the six-digit verification code in your inbox. The code expires after five minutes.
4. Enter the code to see your licenses and activated Macs.

The portal intentionally does not reveal whether an email address owns a license before verification. A generic confirmation after requesting a code is normal. Your email verification code and your app license key serve different purposes.

Move to another Mac

1. Sign in to the portal and choose the appropriate license.
2. Find the old Mac by its device name and release its activation only if you no longer need it there.
3. Activate Pocket Paste on the new Mac and confirm its license status.

You can also use the deactivation control in the app’s License settings when available. Deactivating a license does not transfer your clipboard database. Use backup or iCloud Sync separately for your data.

If something goes wrong

• No verification email: check the purchase address, spam folder and any inbox rules. Wait for the resend countdown, then request a fresh code.
• Expired code: request a new code and use the most recent one.
• Device limit reached: review existing activations before releasing a slot. Do not remove a device you still use accidentally.
• Wrong status after purchase: confirm the purchase email and plan, then reopen License settings. Contact support if the mismatch remains.
• You no longer control the purchase email: contact support with the order reference. Never send a password or verification code.

For help, contact Pocket Paste - support@pocketpaste.app. Include the app version, a short description and an order reference if relevant. Redact full keys and unrelated personal information from screenshots.
