3.2 Setting Your PickMeApp License

PickMeApp requires a valid license to operate. For convenience, you can retrieve your license automatically using your PickMeApp.com credentials, which are also essential for accessing other features that require interaction with the PickMeApp.com site, such as Peer-To-Peer Profiles. The manual method to set PickMeApp ID is also available if needed.

Note: The License window opens automatically when you run PickMeApp Pro without a license, email, or valid password. It will continue to appear each time you run the application anew if any of these parameters are missing or incorrect.

Automatic License Activation (Preferred Method):

Automatically retrieve your PickMeApp ID by entering your email and password associated with your PickMeApp.com account. This simplifies the activation process:

1. Open the License Tab in the Settings Dialog.
2. Enter your Email used to purchase the license and Password for your PickMeApp.com account.
3. Press 'Apply' or 'OK' to initiate the automatic retrieval of your PickMeApp ID. Your PickMeApp ID will then be automatically filled in once your credentials are verified.

Password Recovery: If you forget your password, click the Recover link to open the web-based password recovery dialog.
