Once you have purchased SyncMate Expert Edition, activate it to benefit from all its advantages.
You get the activation code as soon as your order is processed. The maximum number of Macs, on which you can enter this activation code (that is, activate SyncMate), is determined by the license type you own:
| License Type | Number of Macs SyncMate Can be Activated on |
| Expert Personal License | 2 |
| Expert Family Pack License | 6 |
| Expert Business License for 10 Macs | 10 |
| Expert Unlimited Business License | unlimited number of Macs |
So, once you’ve activated SyncMate on the number of Macs determined by the license type you own, you can use these Macs (Macs with activated SyncMate Expert Edition) for syncing with any number of supported devices.
| At least Free Edition of SyncMate should be installed on other Macs (secondary Macs), with which you are going to sync main Macs (with activated SyncMate Expert Edition). You do not need to activate SyncMate on secondary Macs. When you initiate sync from the main Mac, it is just enough to have Free SyncMate Edition on the secondary Mac to establish connection with it and to sync all the selected data from the main Mac. Of course, if you would like to initiate sync from the secondary Mac and enjoy syncing all the plugins available, you’ll have to activate Expert Edition on it (or sync only plugins offered in Free Edition). |
