Common questions
Lost the email. Write to support@sidemini.com from the address you bought with and we resend it.
A second Mac. The personal license covers two Macs you own. Paste the same key on the other one. A third Mac is refused; if you replaced or sold one, write to support and we clear the list the same day.
No internet. Activating needs a connection once, to register the Mac against your two-Mac license. Everything after that works offline, because the key carries a signature the app verifies against a key built into it.
The key is refused. Check for a missing character at the start or end. If it still fails, send us the key and we will look at it.
Using your license on a second Mac
One key covers two Macs you own. Paste it on the second one the same way. Activating needs an internet connection, once per Mac, so we can count the two. Everything after that works with no connection at all.
On a third Mac the app will say the key is already in use. If you replaced or sold a Mac, write to support@sidemini.com and we will clear the list the same day.
When a license stops working
A key is cancelled only when the purchase behind it is reversed, either a refund you asked for or a chargeback raised with your bank. The app checks for this about once a day. If the check cannot reach us, nothing changes and the app keeps working.
If your license stops working and you did not ask for a refund, write to support@sidemini.com and we will sort it out.
