Activation & Deactivation

How Licensing Works

Personal use is free and requires no license. Purchased Pro, organization, and legacy licenses use the same activation flow:

• Pro supports up to five active devices.
• Organization and legacy licenses keep the device limit they were issued with.
• Devices can be activated and deactivated as needed.
• License recovery uses the registered email address.

Activating a Device

First Activation

1. Open Parrot Scribe on the new device.
2. Click the activation link in your confirmation email, or open Settings > License and use the activation link at the bottom of the pane.
3. Paste the license key if the activation window did not fill it automatically.
4. Click Activate.

Additional Devices

If the license has an available device slot, repeat the activation process on each Mac.

Checking Your License

Open Settings > License to see the current license status. Device usage and a Manage action appear when device management is available for that license.

Deactivating a Device

To free a device slot:

1. Open Settings > License on a Mac where the license is active.
2. Click Manage next to the device count.
3. Select the device you want to deactivate.
4. Confirm the deactivation.

The slot is then available for another Mac. If the license supports only one active Mac, deactivate the old Mac before transferring the license.

Transferring to a New Mac

1. Open Settings > License > Manage on a currently activated Mac.
2. Deactivate the old Mac.
3. Activate the license on the new Mac.

Lost Access to a Device?

If the old Mac was sold, stolen, or no longer works, contact support with the license email address. Support can help free the device slot.
