How your license works

Each drive carries its own license. It lets you use The LivingWordApp on two computers, or three if you choose that when you order.

For you, or for the person you give it to

The license belongs to the person the drive was bought for: you, or, if you bought it as a gift, the person you named at checkout. Their name is on the license. A license can’t be resold or passed on to someone else.

Two or three computers per drive

The license lives on the drive itself, not on a computer. The first computers you use The LivingWordApp on are remembered automatically, up to your limit of two (or three). You don't need to type a code or go online. After that, the drive keeps working on those computers, and any other computer shows a message saying the limit has been reached.

A Windows PC and a Mac each count as one computer. The same license covers both versions on your drive.

Keep The LivingWordApp on its drive

Always run The LivingWordApp from the drive it came on. If you copy it onto a computer, the copy keeps its own separate count and your notes won't be saved to your drive.

Replacing a computer

If one of your computers is retired or replaced, we'll reset your license so the new computer can take its place. One reset in any 12 months is free.

To ask for a reset, contact us and include your license ID. Write from the email address the drive was ordered with, or, for a gift, the license holder can write and give the name on the license.

We'll email you a small reset file. Copy it onto the top level of your drive, beside the app, then start the app as usual. It applies the reset by itself the next time it starts, and each reset file works only once. Your notes and other work on the drive aren't touched.

If you need another reset within 12 months of your last one, or want to use The LivingWordApp on an additional computer, you'll need another drive at $55.00.

Finding your license ID

Your license ID starts with LW- followed by eight letters and numbers, for example LW-3F9A21C0.

It’s in the email we send the day your drive is posted, so please keep that email. If you can’t find it, contact us from the email address you ordered with, or, for a gift, give the name on the license, and we’ll look it up for you.

Want a third computer?

When you order, you can choose three computers instead of two for $30.00 more per drive. Your drive arrives ready for all three.

This is only available when you buy your drive. The computer limit can't be raised after your order. To use The LivingWordApp on another computer later, you would need to buy another drive at $55.00, so if you think you'll use three computers, choose it when you order.
