TextBay is free for your first 20 real messages; sending beyond that needs a license key. The key comes by email after purchase, is exactly 21 characters, and also unlocks the Excel edition of the product.
Activate #
- Open the Account page in the app.
- Paste the key from your purchase email and press Activate.
- The page confirms with a green Active badge and shows your license type and dates.
The key is checked against our license server when you activate and once per app start. There is no offline grace: no internet means sending waits until the check succeeds again.
“Device limit reached” #
A license works on a limited number of computers at the same time. When the limit message appears, open your account page, disconnect a computer you no longer use, and activate again: Manage devices and billing.
No key yet? Get a TextBay license. The license covers the app; what you send is billed separately by Twilio to your own Twilio account.
