Desktop App (Windows/Mac)License Activation

Activating Your License

The first time you launch the app, you’ll see a screen asking for your license key.

  1. Paste the license key you received after purchase.
  2. Click Activate License.
  3. Once verified, the app opens straight into the workspace.

Your license key and plan are managed on My Account page on thenomadstack.com.

Do I need to be online all the time?

No. Once activated, the app checks in with the license server only occasionally — not every time you open it. Between checks, and even if you’re completely offline, the app opens normally using your last confirmed license. You only need internet for the initial activation and for those periodic background checks.

What if my license expires?

You’ll see a reminder in the Account menu once your plan is within 30 days of ending, with a link to renew. If a plan fully expires, the app will ask you to reactivate or renew before continuing.

Moving to a new computer

  1. On your old computer, open the Account menu → Deactivate License.
  2. Confirm the deactivation.
  3. Install the app on your new computer and activate it there with the same key.

One license is tied to one device at a time — deactivate on the old device before activating on a new one.
