License and activation

How the free version differs from the full one and how to activate a license key.

What it is for
The free version (FREE) is enough for simple countdowns. The full version (PRO) unlocks, among others, the conference agenda, messages for the speaker, triggers, NDI and unlimited lectures.
Who can use it
Operator on the computer with the program. Activation needs an internet connection.
Where to find it
The License tab (key icon at the end of the tab bar).

1License tab

  • 1 Current license — PRO — full version, Trial version or Free version and the days left.
  • 2 Details — license type, status, expiry date, who the license belongs to.
  • 3 License key and 4 E-mail used for the purchase — activation data (from the e-mail after purchase).
  • 5 Activate — activates the key on this computer.
  • 6 Buy full version — opens the shop on timerpro.eu.
  • 7 Refresh — checks the license again (e.g. after a renewal).

2Activating a key

  • Open the License tab.
  • Enter the key in the License key field — in the form XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.
  • Enter the e-mail address used for the purchase in the E-mail used for the purchase field.
  • Click Activate.

Result: The message “License activated” appears and the top right corner of the program shows PRO instead of FREE. PRO functions work immediately, without restarting.

4What the full version gives

  • FREE — timer with preview and clock window, 5 lectures, monitor selection, clock page in the browser, up to 5 Stream Deck assignments.
