# Licensing & Pricing

Supervertaler for Trados uses a simple subscription model: one product, one price, everything included.

### Free Trial

When you first install Supervertaler for Trados, a **14-day free trial** starts automatically. During the trial, all features are unlocked – TermLens, AI Assistant, SuperSearch, memory banks, Studio Tools, and everything else.

No sign-up or credit card is required to start the trial. The remaining days are shown in the **Licence** tab in Settings and in the About dialogue.

### Pricing

|                              | Monthly   | Annual    |
| ---------------------------- | --------- | --------- |
| **Supervertaler for Trados** | €20/month | €200/year |

One plan, all features included: TermLens inline terminology, AI Assistant & Batch Translate, SuperSearch cross-file search & replace, AI-maintained memory banks, Studio Tools, Clipboard Mode, QuickLauncher, Prompt Library, MultiTerm support, Incognito Mode, and all future features.

:::note Annual plans include **2 months free** compared to monthly billing. :::

### Purchasing a Licence

1. Visit [supervertaler.com/trados](https://supervertaler.com/trados/) and click **Subscribe**
2. Complete the checkout – you will receive a **licence key** by email
3. Open Trados Studio → **Settings → Licence** tab
4. Paste your licence key and click **Activate**

Your licence allows activation on up to **2 machines** (e.g. a desktop and a laptop).

### Activating Your Licence

1. Open Trados Studio
2. Click the **gear icon** (⚙) on the TermLens or Supervertaler panel
3. Go to the **Licence** tab
4. Enter your licence key in the text field
5. Click **Activate**

A confirmation message appears when activation succeeds. The Licence tab shows your plan name, masked licence key, status, and last verification date.

:::tip You can also reach the Licence tab by clicking the licence status text in the **About** dialogue (accessible via the **?** button on any panel). :::

### Managing Your Subscription

From the **Licence** tab in Settings, you can:

* **Verify Now** – manually check your licence status with the server
* **Deactivate** – remove the licence from this machine (frees up an activation slot)
* **Manage subscription →** – opens the Lemon Squeezy billing portal where you can update payment details or cancel

### Offline Use

After activation, the plugin caches your licence status locally. You can work offline for up to **30 days** before the plugin needs to verify your licence again. When you reconnect to the internet, verification happens automatically in the background.

### What Happens When the Trial Expires

After the 14-day trial ends:

* **No licence** – all features show a "licence required" overlay. Your termbases, settings, and prompt library are preserved.
* **Active licence** – all features are unlocked.

Activating a licence immediately unlocks all features.

### Changing Machines

If you replace a computer or need to move your licence:

1. On the old machine: open **Settings → Licence** and click **Deactivate**
2. On the new machine: enter your licence key and click **Activate**

If you can no longer access the old machine, the activation slot will be freed automatically when the licence is next validated.

### Privacy & Security

The plugin makes **no network calls** except to:

1. **Your chosen AI provider** (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or local Ollama) – only when you use AI features
2. **Lemon Squeezy licence API** (`api.lemonsqueezy.com`) – for licence activation and periodic validation
3. **Anonymous usage statistics** (strictly opt-in) – if you consent, a single ping on startup sends only: plugin version, OS version, Trados version, and system locale. See [Usage Statistics](/help/settings/usage-statistics.md) for details.

The licence validation sends only your licence key and a hashed machine fingerprint (a one-way hash of your computer name and Windows user ID). No personal data, no translation content, no termbase information is ever collected.

Your API keys are stored locally in `%LocalAppData%\Supervertaler.Trados\settings.json` and are never transmitted anywhere except to your chosen AI provider.

:::note The full source code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/Supervertaler/Supervertaler-for-Trados) for security audit. You can verify exactly what the plugin does and does not transmit. :::
