Getting started
How LASTFX licenses work, in plain language.
| Free trial | Paid license | |
|---|---|---|
| Features | All features, nothing hidden | All features |
| Length | 7 days from when you start it (set by our server, not your clock) | For the period you bought (renew to continue), or forever with a lifetime license |
| Watermark | None while it runs | None while your license is valid |
| When it ends | The plug-in stops working and shows a LASTFX watermark on your picture (your footage itself is never changed or deleted) until you activate a license. Nothing is charged automatically. | - |
| Devices | 1 device per trial | 3 active devices, transferable |
| Cost | Free | One-time payment |
Rendering never needs the Internet. The plug-in checks its signed license file locally. If it cannot reach the server it keeps working until the offline period ends, and tells you exactly when. If you set your clock back, it asks for an online check.
A license allows a limited number of active devices (3 for standard licenses). To move to a new computer, deactivate the old one in Dashboard > Devices or from the plug-in itself. The device identifier is a salted one-way hash; we do not receive your computer name.
