Questions about buying.
How does the free trial work?
Every new install unlocks all Pro features for 14 days. No card and no sign-up. When it ends, PureShot X keeps every free feature, and your captures stay where they are.
What does "keep forever" mean on the 3-year license?
You get every update released in the three years after you buy. After that, the last version released in your window keeps working with Pro, for good. Renew whenever you want the newer releases.
How many Ask Claude questions do I get?
Pro includes 60 a month, shared by your Macs, starting fresh each month. Answers come from Claude Sonnet 5.5; Think harder asks Claude Opus 5.5, which reasons longer, and counts as 2. Need more? Add 100 questions for $5 in Settings › Claude. They don't expire. The 14-day trial includes 10 questions, and the 3-year license includes monthly questions for its three years.
How many Macs can I use?
Up to three Macs that you use. To move a license, remove it in Settings › License on the old Mac first.
How do I get my license key?
Right after checkout, your key appears on screen with a copy button. Paste it into PureShot X › Settings › License. Keys are checked on your Mac, so Pro keeps working offline.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. See the refund policy.
