Trial, license and updates

How the free trial works, entering your license, and getting new versions.

The trial

ExifXplorer runs with every feature for 7 days from the first launch, with no account and no card. The top bar shows how many days are left.

When the trial ends, the app opens to a single screen until a license is entered, and the Finder preview shows just the photo. Your photos and any edits you saved stay exactly as they are: only the app stops working.

Buying and entering a license

A license is a one-time purchase, with free updates within this major version. After buying on exifxplorer.com, your license key arrives by email.

To enter it:

• During the trial: open Settings ▸ License, type the email the license was issued to, paste the key, and click Activate.
• After the trial: the screen that appears has the same two boxes. Enter them and click Unlock ExifXplorer.

The license is checked on your Mac; no internet connection is needed. You can use it on the Macs you own: enter the same key on each.

Updates

ExifXplorer checks exifxplorer.com for a new version each time it starts, and tells you when one is ready. To check yourself, choose ExifXplorer ▸ Check for Updates….

To install an update, click Download update, quit ExifXplorer, open the downloaded file and drag ExifXplorer onto your Applications folder, replacing the old one. Your library, settings and license are kept.
