Licence & trial
Start your 14-day trial, activate a purchased key, or move a licence to another Mac.
In the appSettings → Licence
On this page
Try the app
Your 14-day trial starts the first time MicMyDay runs. The trial includes all features, without a watermark.
When the trial ends, activate a licence to continue dictating. Your settings, saved history, and downloaded models remain available.
Activate this Mac
- Open the receipt email and click Access purchase. Polar opens and shows your licence key.
- Open the MicMyDay menu-bar panel, then Settings → Licence.
- Connect to the internet, enter your key, and choose Activate.
- Check the status shown in the Licence pane.
The pane shows the device allowance included with your licence.
Use your licence offline
MicMyDay checks an activated licence periodically in the background. You can continue using it offline for up to 14 days after the last successful check.
If you see Licence check needed, reconnect to the internet and reopen the app to resume dictation. If needed, enter the same key and choose Activate again. Your settings and saved data are retained.
Downloaded models continue to process your audio and text on your Mac; licence checks do not send your dictations.
Move to another Mac
- While your current Mac is online, open Settings → Licence and choose Deactivate.
- Wait for deactivation to finish.
- Install MicMyDay on the other Mac and activate the same key there.
Deactivating online releases this Mac’s activation for use on another device. If an error appears or the new Mac reports that all seats are used, contact support with your purchase reference.
Deactivate before uninstalling. If you no longer have the old Mac, open the Polar customer portal from your receipt email’s Access purchase button, find the old Mac under Activations, and remove it there. This releases the activation slot so you can use it on a new Mac.
Find your key or purchase
Open your receipt email and click Access purchase to open the Polar customer portal, where your licence key is shown. You can also choose Find my key or Open portal in the app and sign in using the email address used at purchase.
If activation says the key is unrecognised, check that you copied the whole licence key. A device-limit message needs an unused seat; an unreachable-server message needs a working connection. For a revoked licence or an error you cannot resolve, contact support.
