Activation in three steps
“Activation is the ONLY online step; afterwards fully offline.”
- 💳
1.Buy your license
Complete checkout on Lemon Squeezy — one-time Lifetime ($149) or yearly. Payment is the only step that touches a server, and it never touches your documents.
- 📧
2.Receive your License Key by email
Your order confirmation email contains the License Key bound to your purchase. Copy it — you will paste it into the app in the next step. Keep the email; it is your proof of purchase.
- 🔐
3.Activate inside the app — offline
Open LocalScribe → Settings → License, paste the key and press Activate. The app verifies it locally with a built-in public key (cryptographic ES256 signature). No account, no phone-home, no server call.
Common questions
- Do I need to stay online after activating?
- No. The key is a cryptographically signed token the app verifies with its built-in public key. You can fly, unplug your Ethernet, or put the Mac in a faraday bag — LocalScribe keeps working.
- Can I move the license to another Mac?
- Yes — a lifetime license covers machines you own. Deactivate in the old app, activate on the new one; if you get stuck, write to us.
