Frequently Asked Questions

How does the free trial work?
When you first install EmpiricCommander, all features are unlocked for 7 days. No sign-up or credit card is required. After the trial, you need to purchase a license ($49.99 one-time) to continue using the app.
What happens after the trial ends?
After the 7-day trial, the app stops working until you purchase a license. There is no limited free version - the trial gives you the full experience so you can decide if it's right for you.
What happens when v2 releases?
Everyone who owned EmpiricCommander when 2.0 launched was given it, free - a one-time thank-you to early buyers rather than a standing promise. Going forward, any purchase made in the 90 days before a new major includes that major. Outside that window a new major is a new purchase, and your existing version keeps working indefinitely either way.
Can I use EmpiricCommander on multiple devices?
Your license works on up to 3 devices: 1 Mac, 1 iPhone, and 1 iPad. Sign in with the same account on each device to activate your license automatically.
How do I activate my license?
After purchasing, sign in to EmpiricCommander with the same account you used on the website. Your license activates automatically - no license key to enter.
