#Can I test Retype Pro features?

Yes. Use the command retype start --pro to start your project instead of retype start.

Or, add the following pro: true config to your project retype.yml file:

start: pro: true

The poweredByRetype branding will still be enabled and the 100 page limit will remain in place, but all other Retype Pro features will be available for testing.

#If I do not renew, does my website stop working?

If you do not renew your Pro or Enterprise license, your project will continue to work as it has always worked. Everything will continue to function as normal and without interruption. Even adding more pages to your project would continue to work.

The only thing that changes is that you would not be able to upgrade your project to the next Retype release.

Once your website is built it will continue to work, even if your Pro or Enterprise license is not renewed.

You can purchase a new license at any point in the future.

#Is Retype Pro a separate product?

No. A Retype Key will unlock functionality within the same retypeapp that you have already installed. A separate installer or product installation is not required.

Adding the key to your wallet will automatically unlock all Pro features.

#What is a Project?

Each retype.yml file used by Retype to generate a website is considered a Project.

Each project requires the url setting to be added to your project retype.yml file.

With your purchase of a Pro or Enterprise license, a key is generated and will be registered to your url.

The url can be a domain name or subdomain name.

With Retype Pro, a key is registered to one domain name or subdomain name, for instance, example.com or docs.example.com.

With Retype Enterprise, a key is registered to one domain name and AND all subdomains of the domain, for instance, example.com and *.example.com.

LicenseWebsitesExample
ProOne domain name OR one subdomain nameexample.com OR docs.example.com
EnterpriseOne domain name AND all subdomain namesexample.com AND *.example.com

Each subdomain name counts as one unique URL, except the www subdomain. Both example.com and www.example.com are treated as one URL by Retype.

The url is included inside the key. You can have any number of instances of the project running on any number of developer machines or servers using the same key, but the key will be limited to building only those projects with a retype.yml file where the url is set with the same URL defined in your key.

#What if I have more than one Pro project?

Please purchase one license for each Retype Pro project you require.

Retype Pro licenses can be purchased in any quantity. You can purchase one now and additional licenses at a future time.

Each license is created and managed separately.

Retype Enterprise licenses can be purchased to unlock an entire domain name and all subdomain names. Perfect for an organization that has multiple projects and requires the flexibility to publish to any subdomain.

#What if I need to change the location and URL of my project?

No problem. Within the first 15 days, one change to a different extension or subdomain can be made to a Retype Pro license. Just send a quick email to hello@retype.com with the request.

For instance, changing from example.org to example.com or example.org to docs.example.com are permitted. Changing from example.com to sample.com would not be permitted.

This flexibiity gives you lots of time to create your project then decide what domain name or subdomain name you want to go live with.

After 15 days, we cannot change the URL associated to your key and purchasing a new key would be required.

We are currently building a dashboard system to allow self management of keys and will let you know once available.

#We have 5 people on our team, do we require 5 licenses?

No. Retype is licensed per project (website), not per person or per server.

One license for your project will cover an unlimited number of users, authors, and developers using Retype on that project.

#What happens when the key expires?

If you do not renew for another term, your project stays on the last release available as of your key end date. You would not be able to upgrade your project to the next release of Retype.

Let's run through two scenarios based on purchasing Retype Pro today using the following details:

  • You purchase today
  • Current release is Retype v3.8.0
  • Key expires three years from today
  • On your key end date, let's say Retype v5.5.0 is the current release

#Scenario 1: Renew

You like Retype, it is bringing you value and happiness 🥰, and you want to renew. After purchasing a renewal, you will get another unique key with a new expiry date. Add that new key to your project and your project is now unlocked until that key expires. All upgrades are included while the key is valid.

#Scenario 2: No renew

You decide NOT to renew your Retype key 😢. No worries. Your project will continue to build forever, except you cannot upgrade the project to the next Retype release. You would stay on your current release.

You would be able to upgrade Retype up until v5.0.

Installing Retype v5.1 would be possible, but your project would fail to build. You would need to downgrade back to v5.0 or renew your Retype key, or remove the key from your project and use the free version of Retype.

You would still be able to build up to 1000 pages and remove the Powered by Retype branding, but only if using the release at the time your key expired. Again, you just would not be able to upgrade to any future releases.

If at some point in the future you would like to upgrade to the latest release, just purchase a new Retype Pro key at that time.

The renewal fee is 50% of the original purchase price. For pricing, see table above.

#Can I purchase two licenses and save one for future use?

Yes. The key end date will be 3 years (36 months) from the date the key is created.

You could use one key now and save the other for a future project or to renew the original project.

#We have other license requirements, are there other options?

Yes, custom licensing options are available. Please send an email to hello@retype.com with your requirements.
