# Licensing

## Demo period

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

## Buying HoudahSpot

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

## Loading a license

HoudahSpot licenses come as files. When you purchase HoudahSpot you will be mailed your personal license file. There are many ways to load the file into your copy of HoudahSpot. The most convenient being to open the attachment right from your e-mail application. The license file may also be opened from the nag screen or from the standard "Open" command.
Usually you will first be given an activation code. Once you enter that code in HoudahSpot, your license file will be automatically installed. You will also be mailed a copy. Please keep it in a safe place.

## 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 peoples’.
