Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my purchased app not showing up in my account?
This usually happens if you are signed in with a different account than the one used for the purchase, or if the transaction is still processing. Always verify you are using the correct email address.
Can I install my purchased desktop app on multiple computers?
Most individual software licenses allow you to install the application on more than one computer, but you can only activate and actively use it on a limited number simultaneously (typically two).
How do I find my software order number?
Your order number is usually found in the confirmation email sent to you immediately after your purchase, or under the 'Order History' section of your account dashboard.
