# Licensing

## Demo period

HoudahGeo is available as a trial version. During the demo period you will be able to test the full feature set with the exception of export functions being limited to 5 images. The only difference with the licensed version being a nag window that is shown when you start HoudahGeo. You are free to close the nag window. However you may also let it just float around.

## Buying HoudahGeo

Is a very good idea! Single user and family licenses may be purchased from our web store. The web store can be reached from the nag window.

## Entering an activation code

Usually upon purchase you will be emailed an activation code. You may enter the activation code from the demo nag window. HoudahGeo will then connect to our servers and retrieve your license file. The file will be automatically installed. You will also receive a copy of the license file in email. Please keep that file in a safe place. You will need it to install HoudahGeo on your other or future Macs.

## Loading a license

HoudahGeo licenses come as files. When you purchase HoudahGeo you will be mailed your personal license file. There are many ways to load the file into your copy of HoudahGeo. The most convenient being to open the attachment right from your e-mail application. The license file may also be opened from the nag panel or from the standard "Open" command.

## Reminder: licenses are personal

License files are personal and contain your e-mail address. Be sure not to mix up your license file with other people's.
