It's quite easy to perform a purchase and install the license, but there are a few manual steps, explained below. The reason for this is that it's an absolute requirement that the software itself does not have the capability or need to connect to the Internet. For your security and peace of mind thus, we must ask you to manually get the license from the payment provider and then copy/paste or drag'n'drop (only Windows) the license to the software. Knowing that our software will never talk to anything over the Internet, we think you'll find this little extra step worth the effort!
This is why we can't have the software just get the license from the server by itself, like many other softwares do. It's a matter of security.
