License and account.

The free version, your license, your computers and your account.

Free and full version

The free version is the whole product, with a few limits. A license takes them away.

Every day, the free version also gets two minutes of the full version: no watermark, full resolution, more than one device, and sound from Premiere Pro. It’s the way to try what a license adds on your own work. The minutes count only while the timeline plays or you scrub, never while it’s paused, and the phone shows how many are left. When they’re used, the session carries on as the free version, and they come back 24 hours after they started. A computer gets one set a day, for Premiere Pro and After Effects together. Session notifications stay with the license.

On the free version, Get the full version is at the top of the phone’s controls, whenever you want it.

Activate a license

Your key is in the email we sent when you bought Tethery, and on your account page. Paste it in either of two places.

Option A: Installer

Right after installing, the installer’s last screen has a field for the key. Paste it and press Activate.

On a computer that’s already licensed, after an update or a reinstall, the last screen lists its licenses instead: one row per app, Licensed, or the free version with Add a key. There’s nothing to enter again.

Option B: Panel

Any time after, in the Tethery panel in Premiere Pro or After Effects.

1. Open the License page

   In the Tethery panel, press the key icon at the top.
