# Managing your Relay license, Relay Account, and subscription

> Activate, refresh, or link your Relay Pro access and understand how Relay Account fits into subscriptions and licenses.

Relay for Mac uses a license or subscription to unlock Pro features. In `1.1.0`, Relay also adds a stronger `Relay Account` workflow for restoring entitlements and linking supported purchases across devices.

## Review your current status

1. Open `Relay > Settings`.
2. Go to `License`.
3. Confirm whether Relay shows Free access, Pro access, or a linked account-backed entitlement.

## Common tasks

* Activate a license
* Refresh license status
* Manage a subscription
* Deactivate a license on the current Mac
* Sign in to Relay Account by email link
* Refresh account entitlements
* Link an App Store subscription to Relay Account when prompted

## Relay Account

Relay Account can be used to:

* restore user-scoped entitlements
* link supported App Store subscriptions
* keep account-backed licensing clearer across devices

If Relay asks you to sign in, it uses an email magic-link flow.

## Troubleshooting

If Pro features remain locked:

* Confirm the Mac is online.
* Refresh the current license status.
* If you use Relay Account, refresh entitlements there too.
* If you purchased through the App Store, finish any pending account-link step shown in Settings.
