License and update reminders
A heads-up.
Before it expires.
Choose a reminder 1, 7, 14, or 30 days before expiration, at a time that suits you.
Track whether the license itself expires or just its included updates. See what needs renewing without confusing the two.

Before you get started
Frequently asked questions.
More practical answers in our License Store guides.
Who is License Store for?
Anyone who buys apps directly from developers and wants to keep their license keys, files, and receipts organized. It’s especially useful as your collection grows or when you move to a new Mac.
Does it find my license keys automatically?
No. App import fills in details such as the name, icon, and version. You add the license key yourself or import saved records from CSV or JSON. Learn about app import.
Is it a subscription?
No. $7.99 buys the current major version, including all minor updates within that version. Future major upgrades may require a separate purchase. You can try the app free for 30 days before buying.
Does it work on my Mac?
License Store requires macOS 26 or newer. Your library is stored locally, so you can use it without iCloud. To sync between Macs, sign in with the same Apple account.
Is my license data encrypted?
License Store does not add its own encryption layer to the library or local backups. We recommend enabling FileVault on your Mac. Hiding a key in the app keeps it out of view; it does not encrypt it. Read the data safety guide.
Can I bring my existing collection?
Yes. Import records from CSV, JSON, or a License Store file. For CSV and JSON, you can map your fields to the matching License Store fields. See the import guide.
Can I export my data later?
Yes. Export as CSV, JSON, or a License Store file. Use the native format when you want to move your library with its files and attachments. See export options.
How is it different from a password manager?
License Store organizes your software as a visual app library, with license files, receipts, download links, and expiration reminders. A password manager is the better choice if you want your keys inside an encrypted vault with your passwords. Compare the two approaches.
