SpotlessActivate your Spotless licence
Spotless activates by itself after you buy it. Install the app, open it once, and keep the download page open in your browser. If the app still shows the activation screen, you can activate it with a button or by pasting your key. One licence covers one Mac.
The automatic way
- Buy Spotless. The download starts and your licence key appears on the page.
- Open the downloaded file and drag Spotless to Applications.
- Open Spotless. The page hands your key to the app and it goes straight to the welcome screen.
The page keeps trying while it stays open, so you do not have to press anything. If you closed the tab, open the download page and use the customer portal link there, or paste the key as described below.
If it does not activate
On the download page, press Activate Spotless. Your browser asks whether to open Spotless, and you say yes. If the button opens an older copy of Spotless, delete that copy from Applications and install the new one.
Paste the key by hand
Copy your key from the download page or from your receipt email. Open Spotless, paste it into the activation box and choose Activate. Spaces and line breaks around the key are ignored.
Using a different Mac
One licence covers one Mac. To move it, open Spotless on the old Mac, go to Settings, License and choose Deactivate this Mac…, then activate on the new one. Your files are not touched. Moving to a new Mac, step by step.
Messages you may see
- Key was not recognised. Copy it again and check for a missing character.
- Cannot be activated. The licence is already active on another Mac, or the key was refunded. Deactivate the other Mac or write to yashraj@oth3l.com.
- Date and time look wrong. Fix them in System Settings, then connect to the internet.
