Your license and updates
Seats, activations, downloads, invoices, and renewals.
One seat, one person
Each seat allows one person to use Yard on two Macs simultaneously. Multiple seats receive separate keys, which you can name in your console.
Find and use your key
Sign in to your account with your purchase email. No password is needed: the sign-in link expires after 15 minutes. My licenses shows your keys and devices.
Copy the key to activate Yard. Keep it private. To replace a Mac, choose Deactivate for the old device and use the freed slot. Two activations are for one person, not two people sharing a seat.
Perpetual use and optional updates
Your purchase includes twelve months of updates. Keep using releases from that period forever, even without renewal.
Updates cost €20 per year per seat, with no automatic charges. Renewing early adds twelve months to your existing period. Renewing after expiry starts twelve months from payment. Skipped years are not charged.
Downloads and invoices
The console offers the latest published release covered by your license. An internet connection is needed for activation and refreshing license information. Local verification uses signed proof; the update end date is not a usage expiry date.
Invoices and purchases provides the invoice and PDF once Stripe issues them. Supply accurate billing details at checkout; use billing management to change future details.
A refunded purchase revokes its seats; a refunded renewal adjusts its update period. Contact support with your email and order reference, never the full key.
Activation, trial and optional update subscription
Choose Sign in on the website in Yard, enter the displayed code, then select a license or start a seven-day trial. Trials begin at first activation and cannot reset through reinstall or another account on the same Mac. Already activated lifetime use continues indefinitely when offline or the API fails. Releasing a Mac revokes that activation when it next receives signed confirmation; a disconnected Mac can continue until then. Recovery files consume normal revocable seats.
Update renewal is optional. You may choose a one-time renewal or explicitly subscribe for €20/year across your license's Macs. Only that explicit subscription renews automatically; cancel it in billing without losing perpetual use or previously covered releases.
