License#

DockFlow needs an activated license. On first launch, or when no license is saved, DockFlow shows the Activate DockFlow window.

Activate#

Choose where your license comes from at the top of the window:

  • Direct license — A license bought directly from Appit Studio. Paste your license key and click Activate License.
  • Gumroad — Enter your existing Gumroad license key and click Activate.
  • Keyco — Enter your existing Keyco license key and click Activate.
  • Team email — Enter the email assigned by your team and click Activate.

Activation needs an internet connection. If it fails, check your connection and try again. If you use a VPN, try turning it off for a moment.

Recover a license key#

If you no longer have your license key, use the DockFlow license recovery page.

To move a license to another Mac, use device management.

License details#

Open Settings → License to review the license saved on this Mac. Depending on the license, DockFlow can show:

  • The License source and when it was Last validated
  • Whether access is lifetime or expires on a date
  • Updates through, the date your included updates end
  • Device usage: active devices, the device limit, remaining devices, and whether this Mac is activated

Detailed license management is available in the Appit Services web UI.

  • Refresh License — Check the license again now
  • Remove Key — Remove the license key from this Mac. DockFlow returns to the activation screen. This does not deactivate the device on the server.

DockFlow also checks the license in the background. A saved license keeps working offline for a while; the License page shows until when.

When validation fails#

If DockFlow cannot validate your license, it says that you can continue using DockFlow while it retries in the background. You can:

  • Retry Validation
  • Delete License & Enter New One
  • Continue Using App

Installed version not included#

A license includes updates for a set period. If the installed DockFlow was released after that period, DockFlow shows This DockFlow version is not included and tells you which version your license can use. You can:

  • Download DockFlow — Install the latest version your license includes
  • Renew Updates — Extend your update period
  • Change Key — Activate DockFlow with a different license key
  • Refresh License — Check again, for example right after a new release is registered
  • Quit DockFlow

Removing a license or changing a key does not delete your presets.
