Licensing & Billing FAQ

How does the 14-day trial work before buying?

Download Exevery for free. Your 14-day Compatibility Mode trial only starts when you trigger your first Compatibility Mode action (verified by server time via POST /v1/trials).

How do I transfer my license to a new Mac?

Each license includes 2 concurrent Mac seats. You can deactivate an active Mac directly inside Exevery up to 3 times per rolling 30-day window to free a seat immediately.

What happens after 1 year of feature updates?

Your license is perpetual: you keep permanent execution rights for all owned versions, plus permanent eligibility for x.y.* hotfix patches and all VM/Metal runtime revisions (kind = "runtime").
