Activation & Deactivation

How Licensing Works

ParrotScribe uses a device-based licensing model:

• Each license allows activation on a limited number of devices
• Devices can be activated and deactivated as needed
• Your license is tied to your email address

Activating a Device

First Activation

1. Open ParrotScribe on the new device
2. Enter your license key when prompted
3. Click Activate

Additional Devices

If you have device slots available, simply repeat the activation process on each device.

Deactivating a Device

To free up a device slot:

1. Open ParrotScribe on the device you want to deactivate
2. Go to Settings → License
3. Click Manage next to the device count
4. Select Deactivate This Device
5. Confirm the deactivation

The device slot is now available for another device.

Lost Access to a Device?

If you no longer have access to a device (sold, stolen, broken), contact support with your license email and we'll help free up the device slot.
