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).
