Activate your subscription on a computer

1. 1

   Step 1: In Olive Grove, open Settings, then Licence, and press Activate Olive Grove. The app shows an eight-letter code and opens your browser.

2. 2

   Step 2: Sign in on that page with the account you were invited with, if you are not already signed in.

3. 3

   Step 3: Check that the code on the page is the one the app shows. Give the computer a name if you like, such as “Office desktop”.

4. 4

   Step 4: Press Approve. The app picks up its licence by itself within a few seconds, and the footer shows how long it lasts.

The licence on the computer lasts 35 days and renews itself while you are online, once a day. It sends only the licence id, a scrambled identifier of the computer and the app version. A warning appears in the last 7 days if it could not renew.

A practice with no internet can use a licence file instead: a signed text file you paste or open in the same place. Write to support to ask for one.
