Upgrade requirements
The licensing and upgrade process is facilitated through the Google Play billing service, ensuring a secure and seamless purchase experience. To proceed with the upgrade, ensure that Google Play services are installed and active on your Android device. Additionally, a Google account must be activated on the device, as the license is linked to the Google account rather than the device itself.
Please note that no alternative upgrade methods are available.
Upgrade options
You can upgrade to one of the following licenses:
- Personal: Removes message length and recipient count limitations. Message queue is still restricted.
- Professional: Provides unlimited message length, recipient count, and an extended message queue for uninterrupted messaging operations.
To fully understand differences between license types, please refer to DesktopSMS license types overview.
