A paid licence is unlocked with a key you enter on the Mac. Activation is checked offline, so it keeps working with no network. For what the licence unlocks, see What's free, what's paid.
Activate
- Buy on the website. You get a licence key by email.
- On the Mac, click the Treadle icon in the menu bar and open
Licence. - Choose
Enter key…and paste your key.
Once activated, Treadle verifies the key offline and keeps working without a connection.
Deactivate
Deactivating frees the seat so you can use it on another machine. Open Licence on the Mac and deactivate there.
How many machines
Each licence covers a few machines. The seat count is 3.
Move to a new Mac
- On the old Mac, deactivate. If you cannot reach it, ask support to free a seat.
- On the new Mac, install Treadle and activate with the same key. See Install Treadle.
Keep your key
Keys are not stored on our side, so a re-send is a fresh key, not a copy of the old one. Keep the email with your key somewhere safe.
