Buy and activate

$19 once removes the weekly limit. This is what the checkout sends, what activation sends, and what happens when Pomeroy is offline.

Pomeroy is $19 once. No subscription, no second purchase, and every update to Pomeroy 1 is included.

Buying

1. Open the checkout

   From the cap message, from the Pomeroy panel’s buy button, or from pomeroy.app/pricing. All three go to the same place.

2. Pay

   The store is Lemon Squeezy. The checkout opens in your browser, so that is your browser talking to the store, not Pomeroy. Pomeroy sends nothing and learns nothing about it.

3. Find your key

   It arrives by email from the store.

Activating

1. Open Settings → Licence

   Click the Pomeroy icon in your menu bar, choose Settings, then Licence.

2. Paste your key

   Pomeroy checks it with the store and the weekly limit is gone.

What activation sends

Exactly two fields, and nothing else:

Field	What it is
license_key	The key from your purchase email, exactly as you typed it
instance_name	Pomeroy followed by eight random characters, generated once on this Mac

instance_name is not your Mac’s name, serial number, hostname or account. It exists so the store can show you which activation to free when you move to a new Mac.

After activation, later checks send the key and the activation id the store issued, instead of the label.

Everything Pomeroy sends, on one page

Being offline does not lock you out

A licence check that cannot reach the server changes nothing. A licensed Mac keeps working offline for as long as it stays offline.

The rule is deliberately one-directional: a licence is trusted until the server says otherwise. A flaky connection, a coffee-shop captive portal or a flight is not an answer, so it is not treated as one.

Troubleshooting

The key is rejected

Check for a trailing space from the copy, and that you are pasting the licence key rather than the order number. If it still fails, email [e-mail] with your order email address.

It says the licence is already activated

A licence covers one Mac at a time. Free the old activation in the store’s customer portal, where instance_name is how you tell which is which, then activate here. See moving to a new Mac.

I bought it but the limit is still there

Buying and activating are two steps. Paste the key in Settings → Licence; the purchase alone does not reach your Mac, because Pomeroy has no account system to look you up in.
