Own it. Rent it when you need it. Try it free.
Program your show for free. Try the outputs with a seven-day demo. Then own it, or rent it for the gig. Every paid license includes the full feature set.
Own it
A permanent license for your own Mac. The bundle gives you two independent full licenses, so either Mac can be the Main or the Backup.
Rent it
For the unexpected, a last-minute call, or a gig that wasn't on the calendar. The clock starts when you activate, not when you buy.
Try it
Download and build your show without a license: cues, layouts and show files. When you're ready to see it on screen, start the seven-day output demo on that Mac.
What each license covers.
Introductory pricing$19 for 48 hours · $29 for one weekFree
License the show Macs. Everything else is free.
Needs a license
The Mac that runs the show needs its own paid license, or an active demo, to send output.
Needs its own license
A Backup Mac needs its own paid license or its own demo. Rental and demo time keeps running while it stands by. The Main + Backup bundle covers both Macs.
Free
Remote Control Macs, Display Macs, iPads and browser viewers need no license. Their output follows the show Mac's license, or its demo treatment.
Licensing that stays out of the way.
Activate once, then work offline
Once it's activated, the show Mac works without the internet. There are no periodic online checks.
Clear and Blackout always work
If a rental or demo ends mid-show, what's already on screen can finish. New cues wait for a renewal or purchase, and your show files stay open.
Secure checkout
Checkout by Paddle, with activation inside the app.
Before you buy.
What can I do without a license?
Everything except audience-facing output. Download the app, create and edit cues, set up screen layouts, and save and load show files, for as long as you like.
How does the output demo work?
Each Mac can start one seven-day output demo with a verified email address. Stage displays, NDI®, Display Macs and the LAN Viewer show a demo watermark, plus a full-screen demo card for five seconds each minute. Preview and Cue Preview stay clear. The demo is for evaluation, not production.
When does a rental start?
At first activation, not at purchase. It runs for 48 or 168 consecutive hours and never renews on its own. There's no deadline to activate a rental you haven't used.
What happens if a rental or demo ends during a show?
What's already on screen can finish, and Clear Screen and Blackout keep working. New cues and screen elements can't go up until you renew or buy. Your show files and programming stay open. A Display Mac that has lost its connection to the show Mac goes black when the license period ends.
Do I need a license for the Backup Mac?
Yes. It needs its own paid license or its own demo, and rental or demo time keeps running while it stands by. The Main + Backup bundle includes two full licenses, and either Mac can be the Main or the Backup.
Are the iPad, Remote Control and Display Macs free?
Yes. iPads, Remote Control Macs, Display Macs and browser viewers need no license. What they show follows the show Mac's license, or its demo treatment.
Can I move my license to a new Mac?
A perpetual license is active on one Mac at a time. Deactivate it on the old Mac to move it. If that Mac isn't available, you can make a self-service recovery move once every 12 months. A rental stays on the Mac where it was activated.
Are upgrades included?
A perpetual license includes updates within its major version. Major upgrades may be paid, and the version you bought stays yours to use.
Can I transfer a license to someone else?
No. Licenses can't be transferred to another person or company.
Do I need internet at the venue?
No. Activate before you travel. After activation, the show Mac works offline with no periodic checks, on your local network.
Refunds?
Orders are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. You can ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase. A rental that hasn't been activated can be refunded within that time; an activated rental has been used and isn't refundable, except where the law requires. See the Refund Policy.
