Activating a License

Entering a License Key

You can activate your license in two ways:

From the Sidebar

Click Enter License Key at the bottom of the LogScope sidebar. Paste your license key in the format NB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and press Enter.

From the Command Palette

Run LogScope: Enter License Key (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux).

After Activation

Once activated, you’ll see:

• A confirmation message: “License activated! Welcome to LogScope Pro.”
• The sidebar bottom changes from “Enter License Key” to “License: Pro” with a verified icon
• Watch pattern limits are removed (unlimited patterns)
• The “3/3 free” indicators disappear

Viewing License Info

Run LogScope: View License Info to see your current license status, tier, and expiration date.

Or click the License: Pro item at the bottom of the sidebar.

Refreshing Your License

Run LogScope: Refresh License to force a re-validation with the license server. This is useful if you’ve renewed your subscription or upgraded your tier.

How License Validation Works

• Your license key is stored securely in VS Code’s encrypted secret storage (OS keychain)
• LogScope validates your key with the license server once every 24 hours
• If the server is unreachable, your cached license status is used for up to 7 days (grace period)
• LogScope never blocks startup to validate your license. Validation happens in the background.

Removing a License

Run LogScope: Remove License Key to deactivate your license on this machine and revert to the Free tier.

This frees up a seat if you have a multi-seat license. Your patterns are not deleted, but they will be limited to the first 3 on the Free tier.

License Key Format

LogScope license keys follow the format:

NB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Where each X is an alphanumeric character (A-Z, 2-9, excluding ambiguous characters like 0/O and 1/I/L). The key is case-insensitive and hyphens are optional when entering.
