This document describes common errors that may occur when trying to activate Postico licenses.
Postico needs an internet connection to activate your license. After your license has been activated, you do not need an internet connection to use it.
There is a way to activate Postico without an internet connection, but it requires you to be familiar with using the command line. Please see the instructions for offline activation.
The license server could not find your license key. Most commonly this is caused by errors when typing the license key. License keys consist only of uppercase letters, digits, hyphens and underscores.
Try copy/pasting the license key to avoid errors.
You have tried to activate Postico on more devices than your license allows.
You can either extend your license for additional devices, or you can deactivate one of your previously activated devices.
To purchase additional licenses, please go to the license manager website. Enter your license key to login, then look for the button labelled "Buy more…"
Follow the instructions on the page about Postico License Activation
