Licence

HTTPGlass for Mac is sold outside the App Store. Pro is a subscription, and a licence key turns it on. See the pricing page for plans.

Getting your key

After checkout, the confirmation page shows your licence key, and the same key arrives by email. The page’s Open in HTTPGlass button and the email’s Activate in HTTPGlass button both use an httpglass://activate link: with HTTPGlass installed, it opens the app and activates the key in one click.

Activating by hand

1. Open HTTPGlass → Settings… (⌘,) and go to General.
2. Under Licence, click Enter Licence Key….
3. Paste the key from your email and click Activate.

The Licence section then reads Pro. Activation needs an internet connection.

Up to three Macs

One licence works on up to three Macs at a time. To move it, open Settings → General → Manage Licence… on the Mac you’re leaving and click Deactivate This Mac. That frees the slot for another Mac. Deactivating always removes the licence from the Mac you’re on, but the slot is only freed if that Mac can reach the licence server at the time.

If you’ve hit the limit and can’t get to one of the Macs, contact support.

Staying licensed offline

HTTPGlass checks the licence when it opens and once a day while it runs. If it can’t reach the licence server — on a plane, on a locked-down network, or during an outage on our side — Pro stays on for seven days from the last successful check, and the Licence screen says how many days are left. Once HTTPGlass can reach the server again, the check succeeds and the window resets.

If the server answers that the licence is no longer valid — the subscription has ended or was refunded, for example — HTTPGlass returns to Free straight away. Your rules stay saved; see Free vs Pro.

HTTPGlass’s licence and update checks go directly to httpglass.com, not through its own proxy, so they work even while capture is running and never appear in your traffic.

Changing or cancelling your subscription

To change your payment details or cancel, email support@httpglass.com from the address you paid with.

Where the licence is stored

In a file in ~/Library/Application Support/HTTPGlass that only your user account can read — not in the keychain, so an app update never has to ask for your password to read it.
