License Details and Terms

Posted by Kyle Hankinson May 13, 2025

License Details

SQLPro offers three types of licenses:

  • Subscription License Keys (Monthly and Yearly)
    These licenses are valid across iOS, macOS, and Windows. A single subscription covers all platforms and devices for a single user when purchased through the SQLPro website.

  • App Store Subscriptions
    Subscriptions purchased via the Mac App Store or iOS App Store are only valid on the platform where the purchase was made.
    Although Apple introduced cross-platform subscription support, it only applied to new apps. Because SQLPro was already available on the App Store before this change, cross-platform sharing does not apply. For this reason, purchasing directly from the SQLPro website is recommended.

  • Lifetime Licenses
    Lifetime licenses are valid for a single platform only (macOS, iOS, or Windows). If you need SQLPro on more than one platform, a separate lifetime license is required for each.

License Terms

A single SQLPro license is defined as either of the following:

  • A single user may use the license on multiple devices they own.
  • Multiple users may share the license on a single device.

Example:
You can use one license on both your desktop and laptop if you're the only user. Alternatively, if multiple users share the same machine, they may all use the same license on that device.

App store subscription not activating

Posted by Kyle Hankinson Febuary 2, 2021

TLDR;

Uninstall the app and reinstall it from the App Store. (No data will be lost).

Details

The App Store uses 'Receipts' generated by macOS to let SQLPro know that a subscription is valid. Normally users never need to know about these receipts, as its all taken care of in the background. In some cases, receipts may not be downloaded and even though you have paid for the app it may not recognize this. If this happens, a steps can be taken:

First, try the 'Restore purchase' button on the subscription dialog. Unfortunately, this does not always seem to work.

The second method which has yet to fail, is to Uninstall the app then re-install from the App Store. SQLPro stores your connections securely in the iCloud keychain so no data is lost doing so.

Notes

This may continue to occur. Sadly, developers using the Mac App Store have no control over this. If you find this problem persists, I suggest purchasing via the SQLPro website (and use the promo code MAS10 to save 10%). Purchasing through the SQLPro website does not require Apples Receipts and is a much smoother experience for those running into this issue.
