Licensing troubleshooting

Offline keys start with WDW1. and carry an Ed25519 signature from whatdoyouwant.io. The app checks prd, pln, exp, and the signature on your machine. It does not need the network to stay open.

The $59 key is limited to 3 computers. machineId must be 4–120 characters. A fourth activation is refused until you deactivate one. Paid subscribers should sign in with their account instead of pasting a seat key.

Steps

  1. Confirm the key is a single line starting with WDW1.
  2. Check License for trial days left, remaining activations, or “invalid”.
  3. If the trial ended, buy a key from the marketing site checkout, or sign in with a paid $5 / $49 account.
  4. To move the offline license, choose Deactivate this computer, then activate on the next machine.

The license file lives next to the ledger in the app data folder and stores this computer’s machineId.

If this goes wrong

A tampered key fails verification. A key for a different product is rejected. This app still accepts offline claims uprightly and the older finance-clean-room. The service API accepts only uprightly and has no finance-clean-room alias or redirect. If a key includes exp, an expired exp is rejected. The service desktop license itself does not expire. Live whatdoyouwant.io calls are refused in this checkout — unset FCR_LIVE_BILLING and use the fake merchant. While the product is coming soon, live checkout returns This product is not for sale yet.
