## Licenses and Registration

If you have installed a fresh copy of Ulysses, it will always start in an unregistered state. A panel will pop up, asking you whether you'd like to register, apply for a trial run, or use the application in demo mode.

Registration is a short and easy process in Ulysses. The only thing you need is an active internet connection at the time of registration. To register, either click on the "Register" butto in the splash screen at startup or go to the application menu and select "Register...". Registration in Ulysses is a "named registration", that means we register Ulysses to your name and therefore each Ulysses user gets his own registration code. That keeps the codes short and you won't need to enter a 25-character string.

After obtaining the license from our online shop, you will receive an e-Mail with the registration code. Simply enter your name and then the code in the registration dialog. Ulysses will check if the combination is valid and register it. You can run Ulysses not only on one, but on three machines simultaneously with the registration code.

To unregister Ulysses, go to the application menu, click on "Register.." and select the "Unregister" button. Unregistering is only needed when you want to sell your Mac. Upgrading your hardware doesn't affect your registration. If you re-install or upgrade your Mac OS X installation, you can just backup Ulysses.app from the Application folder and you won't need to re-register. You can also download a fresh copy from our website and re-register without using one of your three licenses (two licenses if you're using Ulysses Core).

  - In the demo, saving and export are disabled.
- I have sold one of my registered machines and bought a new Mac. Ulysses says it has already been registered too many times. Help!
  - Send us an e-mail, and we'll reset your registrations. Have fun with your new Mac.
- When should I unregister Ulysses?
  - You should unregister your copy of Ulysses if you do not want to use it anymore on that Mac, for example if you sell it. You can unregister Ulysses by selecting "Register..." from the application menu, then click the "Unregister" button. You can now use your copy of Ulysses on another Mac if you want to.
- Will I lose my registration if I upgrade my hardware?
  - No, you can update your hardware whenever you want.
- How do you re-install Ulysses after a system update or a new system installation?
  - If you upgrade your system, you should always make a back-up of all your data. If you do an upgrade without wiping your hard-drive, Ulysses will still be registered. If you upgrade by wiping your hard-drive and doing a fresh install of the system, you can either copy your Ulysses.app from your back-up and it will still be registered or you can re-register your newly downloaded copy of Ulysses without using up another of your three licenses (two licenses if you're using Ulysses Core).
