**1)**  
Haven’t really used listary much but now I see a license activation model.

Does the license activation-page work with multiple licenses?

Now I see 0-6 activations, can I assume this is per license.

- Meaning each license is max 6 activations?
- And on how many machines may each license be used?

In my case, I have 2 pro licenses.

**2)**  
Does listary “phone home”, meaning contact some webserver each time listary boots or periodically? (for license check?).

**3)**  
Only if phoning home is the case (previous point **2** ).  
Could you consider the user creating an activation file from webpage, that file is based specifically for a pc, so it can not be used on another pc. The webpage registers how many activation-files where generated.  
And no phoning home because the user uses an activation-file.  
Or implement some other way that does not have the need to phone home.

**4**  
I’m seeing my license in white color font, almost invisible.  
Do others have the same issue?

Hi Ron,

**1) License activations:** Yes, the activation count is per license. Each Pro license allows up to 3 activations. With 2 Pro licenses, you can activate on up to 6 machines total.

**2) “Phone home”:** Yes, Listary does perform license validation checks.

**3) Activation file suggestion:** Interesting idea about offline activation files. I’ll pass this to the development team for consideration.

**4) License key display issue:** Thanks for reporting this! It looks like a dark mode compatibility issue where the license key background color doesn’t adapt properly. We’ll look into fixing this. As a workaround, you can use the “Copy License to Clipboard” button to get your key.
