Your Pro licence, and moving it to another Mac

Pro is one payment with no subscription, the same in both editions — $9.99 for the first 100 buyers (the founder price), $19.99 up to 500, $29.99 after that. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad. From betterpdf.co it is a licence key for up to three Macs, one iPhone and one iPad that you can deactivate at any time; in the Mac App Store it is a Universal Purchase with Family Sharing.

Pro is the same single payment in both editions. There is no account and no subscription.

What it costs

Pro is priced by how many licences have been sold:

  • $9.99 for the first 100 licences (the founder price)
  • $19.99 up to 500
  • $29.99 after that

The pricing section on the home page shows how many founder licences are left. The price you pay is the price for good: there is no renewal.

Direct download (betterpdf.co)

  • You receive a licence key.
  • One key covers up to three Macs. Enter it in Better PDF on each Mac you use.
  • You can deactivate a Mac at any time. That frees its place, so you can enter the key on a new Mac.

Moving to a new Mac

  1. On the old Mac, deactivate the licence in Better PDF.
  2. On the new Mac, download Better PDF from betterpdf.co and enter the same key.

Mac App Store

  • Pro is an in-app purchase tied to your Apple Account.
  • It is a Universal Purchase: it covers Better PDF on your Macs, iPhone and iPad.
  • Family Sharing is on, so the people in your family group get Pro too.
  • To use it on a new Mac, sign in with the same Apple Account and restore purchases.

iPhone and iPad

One purchase. Mac, iPhone and iPad. Better PDF for iPhone and iPad is coming to the App Store, free, with nothing to buy in its first version: every Lens filter, every export size and OCR are included, for scans up to 100 pages.

A later version adds iOS Pro for new on-device features. Mac Pro includes it, in both editions:

  • Mac App Store: unlocked automatically on iPhone and iPad under the same Apple Account.
  • Direct download: the same licence key works on one iPhone and one iPad as well as your three Macs. Scan the code in the Mac’s Settings › Licence, or type the key. Need more devices? Email hello@evenpine.com and we will usually add them.

Which edition to choose

Same app, same price. The App Store adds Family Sharing. The direct download adds USB tokens that need a PKCS#11 driver, such as the Watchdata ProxKey, and crash reports in Diagnostics.
