Trial limits are enforced client-side and may be adjusted in future releases. The trial is intentionally generous enough to evaluate whether HyperWhisper fits your workflow before you buy.

Activating a Pro license

After purchase you’ll receive a license key by email.
1

Open Settings → License

From the menu bar (macOS) or tray (Windows), open Settings → License.
2

Paste your license key

Paste the key from your purchase confirmation email.
3

Click Activate

HyperWhisper validates the key online and unlocks Pro features immediately.
Activation requires a one-time internet connection. After it completes, you can keep using HyperWhisper offline (with local models).

Using your license on multiple machines

A single license is intended for personal use across the machines you own — for example, a desktop and a laptop. There’s no rigid per-device install limit, but the license is tied to your account and is not for redistribution. If you need to use HyperWhisper on a team or across many machines, contact support@hyperwhisper.com about volume licensing.

Moving to a new Mac or PC

If you’re replacing a device or selling an old one:
1

Deactivate on the old machine (recommended)

Open Settings → License → Deactivate on the machine you’re leaving. This frees the activation slot.
2

Install HyperWhisper on the new machine

Download from hyperwhisper.com.
3

Activate with the same key

Paste your license key in Settings → License on the new machine.
If you no longer have access to the old machine (lost, stolen, wiped), email support@hyperwhisper.com with your license key and we’ll free the slot manually.

Lost your license key?

License keys are sent by email at the time of purchase. If you can’t find yours, search your inbox for “HyperWhisper” or “Polar” (our payment processor). If you still can’t find it, email support@hyperwhisper.com with the email address you used to purchase.
