Understanding Device Limits

ParrotScribe licenses are available for 1, 2, or 3 devices. See pricing for details.

What Counts as a Device?

Each unique Mac counts as one device. The device is identified by hardware characteristics:

  • Reinstalling macOS = same device
  • Upgrading macOS = same device
  • New Mac = new device

Reaching Your Limit

If you try to activate on a new device and have reached your limit:

  1. Deactivate an old device - Free up a slot from a device you no longer use
  2. Purchase additional devices - Buy a larger license if you need more slots

Best Practices

  • Deactivate before selling or giving away a Mac
  • Contact support if you forget to deactivate

FAQ

Can I use ParrotScribe on both my iMac and MacBook?
