Move license / free a device slot

Maximum devices

Pro licenses allow up to 3 simultaneous activations via Lemon Squeezy (work laptop, personal machine, etc.). There is no "Manage Devices" command and no app.hackerware.com/devices portal.

Deactivate on the old machine

  1. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P
  2. Run Continuity: Show License Info
  3. Click Deactivate License, then activate on the new machine

CLI on that machine: continuity license deactivate

⚠️ Deactivating frees a Lemon Squeezy slot and removes Pro on that device until you activate again.

Lost access to the old machine? License transfer guide — email support with your purchase email and we clear the slot.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid License Key"

  • Double-check for typos in your license key
  • Make sure you're using the email address from your purchase
  • Contact [email protected] if the issue persists

"Maximum device activations reached"

  • All activation slots for this license are in use (typically 3)
  • On a machine that still has Pro: Show License Info → Deactivate License, then try again here
  • Full steps: /license-transfer

"License Expired"

  • Your subscription has expired (Monthly or Annual plans)
  • Renew your subscription to restore Pro features
  • Or upgrade to Lifetime for one-time payment at app.hackerware.com/pricing

"Unable to Verify License (Offline)"

  • Continuity works offline for up to 7 days using cached license
  • Connect to the internet to refresh your license status
  • After 7 days offline, you'll temporarily revert to Free tier
