Activating your license
Enter your license key, how the 7-day free trial works on Solo and Agency, machine limits per tier, and how to deactivate a machine.
Updated
GeckoGrid licenses run through Polar. Your key arrives by email after purchase, and activation binds it to the machine you are on.
Enter your key
When you first launch GeckoGrid, the activation screen asks for your license key.
- Paste the key from your purchase email into the License Key field.
- Click Activate License. GeckoGrid verifies the key and unlocks the app.
If you do not have a license yet, the same screen links to the purchase page.
The free trial
Solo and Agency monthly plans start with a 7-day free trial with full access to everything in the plan, so you can try it all before paying. DataForSEO API scanning and white-label exports are Agency features, so start your trial on Agency if you want to try those too. You are not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before that. If you cancel before the trial expires, you pay nothing. The Lifetime license does not include a trial.
Cancel in the trial window if the fit is not right; after conversion the subscription bills monthly until you cancel, and the trial week is the evaluation window.
Machine limits
Each tier sets how many machines one license key can be active on at the same time:
- Solo: 3 machines
- Agency: 10 machines
- Lifetime: 5 machines
There is no limit on projects, scans, or clients per machine. If you hit the machine limit, activation shows an error with a Request License Reset button that opens a prefilled email to support.
Deactivating a machine
When you retire or reimage a computer, free its seat in Settings > License. Click Deactivate This Machine. This frees the seat for another device, signs you out, and asks you to re-enter your key the next time you launch on that machine.
Staying verified
GeckoGrid re-checks your license online at each launch. If a subscription lapses or a key cannot be verified, GeckoGrid returns to the activation screen and locks until a valid license is restored; your projects and scan history are untouched on disk and come back when the license validates again. If the check fails because of a network problem, you get a retry option rather than a rejection.
Next up: your first scan.
