Activating Your License

Entering your license key

  1. From the home window, click Activate License (shown when Savvyshot isn't yet activated).
  2. Enter your license key. Keys are in UUID format: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.
  3. Submit the key. Savvyshot verifies it against your account.

Activation states

StateMeaning
Not activatedNo valid license is currently active — free tier features only.
VerifyingSavvyshot is checking your key.
ActivatedYour license is valid — the home window shows a "Full Version" badge.
Verification errorThe key couldn't be verified — check for typos, or that the key hasn't been deactivated/transferred.

Re-verification

Savvyshot automatically re-checks your license status when the app regains focus. If a check fails (e.g. due to no internet connection), a manual Verify License button lets you retry once you're back online.

Device activations

Each license key can be activated on a limited number of devices at the same time:

PlanDevices
Basic1 device
Pro3 devices

Activating on a new device uses one of these slots. If you've used all your available activations and try to activate on another device, the activation will fail — deactivate the license on one of your existing devices first (or contact support) before activating elsewhere.

Troubleshooting

  • "Verification error" on a key you're sure is correct — double-check for extra spaces or missing characters when copying the key, and confirm you have an internet connection for the initial check.
  • Moving to a new computer — re-enter the same license key on the new machine to activate it there. If you're at your device limit, free up a slot by deactivating an older device first.

If you continue to have issues, contact support with your license key and purchase confirmation.
