What happens on a large project without a licence

The sync always runs: you see the result on the timeline and the numbers in the status bar are real. Only the export is locked: the button shows Export 🔒, and pressing it opens a panel with an explanation and the Enter License… and Buy CamHeard buttons.

Activating a key

  1. Open the License menu, then License…. The Enter License… button on the purchase panel opens the same dialog.
  2. Paste the key from the email you got after the purchase. It starts with CAMHEARD-.
  3. Press Activate. The export unlocks at once, without syncing again.

Instead of a key you can open a licence file: the …or open a license file link under the field.

The licence dialog. Lower down, once a key is in, there is a button to remove the licence from this computer.

Moving the licence to another computer

In the same dialog, at the bottom, there is Remove from this computer. After you confirm, this computer goes back to the free version and the key stays yours: you can activate it here again or on another machine. The sync currently on screen does not disappear, only the export is locked.
