Licensing

Activating Your License

After purchasing a Pro subscription, you receive a license key by email.

1. Open Acclo IQ on any device (desktop or browser)
2. Go to Settings > License
3. Paste your license key and click Activate
4. The app confirms activation and shows your Pro status

Your license supports up to 2 devices simultaneously.

Device Management

Viewing Linked Devices

Each device is identified by its Machine ID — a truncated fingerprint shown at the bottom of the License tab as Machine ID: 2c0e09ad...3e84.

To see all linked devices, click the Devices card in the License tab or click Manage Devices.

Deactivating a Device

To free up a device slot:

1. Go to Settings > License > Manage Devices
2. Each device shows its Machine ID — match it to the ID displayed in each device’s License tab footer
3. Click Deactivate next to the device you want to remove
4. Confirm in the dialog

The deactivated device will detect the change within 24 hours (or on its next app launch). Its data is preserved — only Pro features are locked until reactivated.

Device Limit Reached

If both slots are in use and you need a new device:

1. Open any currently active device
2. Go to Settings > License > Manage Devices
3. Deactivate a device you no longer use
4. Activate the license on your new device

Deactivate All Devices

Use Deactivate All in the Manage Devices modal to remove all devices at once. Each will need to reactivate individually.

Deactivating Your License

To remove Pro from the current device:

1. Go to Settings > License
2. Click Deactivate
3. Confirm in the dialog

This frees a device slot and reverts the current device to Free tier. Your data is preserved.

Revalidation and Offline Behavior

Acclo IQ is a local-first app — your data lives on your device and works fully offline. License validation is designed to minimize disruption while keeping your license status current.

How Revalidation Works

• When online: the app checks your license status once every 24 hours (on launch or in the background)
• When offline: the app trusts your last known license status for up to 30 days
• No personal data is sent — only your license key and an anonymous device identifier

What Happens Offline

Duration offline	Behavior
0–25 days	Full Pro features, no warnings
25–30 days	Full Pro features, reminder to connect
30+ days	Reverts to Free tier until you reconnect

Reconnecting to the internet immediately restores your Pro status. Your data is never locked or deleted due to license changes.

Remote Deactivation

If someone deactivates your device from another device (via Manage Devices):

• Your device detects the change within 24 hours (or on next launch)
• A notification appears: “This device was deactivated from another device”
• Your data stays intact — only Pro features are locked
• You can reactivate immediately if a device slot is available

Subscription Lifecycle

Active Subscription

Full Pro features on up to 2 devices. License revalidates automatically.

Canceled Subscription

After cancellation, Pro features remain until the end of your billing period, then enter a 30-day grace period. During grace, Pro features still work with a reminder to renew.

Expired Subscription

After the grace period, the app reverts to Free tier behavior. All your data is preserved — you can export, view, and use Free tier features. Resubscribing and reactivating restores Pro immediately.

Privacy

License validation sends only:

• Your license key (to verify subscription status)
• An anonymous device fingerprint (to enforce the 2-device limit)

No personal data, financial data, transaction data, or usage analytics are transmitted during license validation. See Privacy Architecture for full details.
