# Buying, licensing and updates

## The free trial

Moor is free for **14 days** with everything included — no card, no account. The menu bar and **Settings → General** show how many days are left.

![Settings, General page: the license card shows a free trial with 11 days left and a Buy Moor button](https://moorapp.com/img/docs/settings-general.png "Settings → General: your trial, Buy, and where to paste a key.")

When the trial ends, Moor keeps working and reminds you about once a day.

## Buying

Moor is **$29 once** — no subscription. It's yours on all your own Macs, with every Moor 1.x update.

1. Choose **Buy Moor — $29…** in the menu bar or in Settings → General (or go to [moorapp.com/buy](https://moorapp.com/buy)).
2. Pay on the secure Stripe checkout page. Stripe, our merchant of record, handles payment and tax and emails your receipt.
3. Your license key appears right on the next page. Choose **Activate in Moor** — Moor opens and says “Moor is activated”. Done.

Prefer to do it by hand? Copy the key and paste it into **Settings → General → License**, then choose **Activate**. Keys look like `MOOR-…` and work offline; activation never contacts us.

## Several Macs

Your license is for you, on all your own Macs. On each one, open the purchase page again or [find your key](https://moorapp.com/license/), and activate.

## Lost your key?

Go to [moorapp.com/license](https://moorapp.com/license/) and enter the email you bought with and the **billing postal code (ZIP)** you gave at checkout. Your key appears right there — no email, no waiting. A receipt or order number works in place of the postal code. Still stuck? Write to [support@bayouapps.com](mailto:support@bayouapps.com).

## Refunds

Within 30 days, for any reason: write to [support@bayouapps.com](mailto:support@bayouapps.com) with the email you bought with. A refunded key stops working within a day. See the [refund policy](/refunds/).

## Updates

Moor keeps itself up to date. It checks for updates in the background and asks before installing one; every update is signed and notarized.

- Check by hand: menu bar → **Help → Check for Updates…**
- Turn automatic checks off: **Settings → General → Updates**.
- What changed: the [changelog](/changelog/).
