Granular Granular

Pro on multiple computers

In short

How many computers can use Granular Pro? Two at once, including Lifetime. How to add a computer, move Pro to a new one, or handle a lost laptop.

Updated 2026-10-20

A Pro or Lifetime purchase works on 2 of your computers at the same time. Sign in to the same Granular account on each one. To use a third computer, you switch Pro off on one of the others.

The Free plan has no computer limit. The AI Add-on and its credits follow your account to any computer you sign in on.

See which computers have Pro

  1. Open Settings → Account.
  2. Look at the Your plan card for your Pro purchase.

It says how many computers it's on, for example Active on 1 of 2 computers, and lists each one by name, with when it was last used. The computer you're on is marked This computer.

Add a second computer

  1. Install Granular on the new computer.
  2. Open Settings → Account and sign in with the same email.
  3. If there's a free place, Granular switches Pro on for you. If it doesn't, click Switch Granular Pro on here on the Your plan card.

Use a third computer (switch Pro to it)

When Pro is already on 2 computers, the new one shows:

"Granular Pro is on 2 computers. Switch it to this one?"

  1. Choose the computer you want to switch off. The list shows when each was last used, to help you pick.
  2. Click Switch to this computer.

Pro is now on this computer. The one you picked goes back to Free the next time it checks in (see Removing a computer for how long that can take).

If you use an unlock code instead

If you paste your unlock code on a third computer, Granular says:

"This code is already active on the maximum number of devices. Deactivate one to move it here."

You can click Move it to this computer. Be aware this switches Pro off on all your other computers, not just one. If you want to keep one of them, sign in and use Switch to this computer instead, which lets you choose.

Remove a computer you no longer use

Sold, replaced or lost a computer? Free up its place:

  1. Open Settings → Account on any computer where you're signed in.
  2. In the Your plan card, click Remove next to the old computer.
  3. Read the message and click Remove again. (Changed your mind? Click Keep.)

The place is freed straight away, so you can use it on another computer right now.

One honest detail: the removed computer doesn't lose Pro the very same moment. It keeps Pro until its current unlock runs out, which can be a few weeks, up to about 6 weeks. After that it goes back to Free. In practice:

  • You can use the freed place immediately. You don't have to wait.
  • If you're giving the computer to someone else, sign out on it first (below). That takes Pro off it straight away.

Take Pro off the computer you're using

There's no Remove button for the computer you're on. It says Sign out to remove. Instead:

  1. Open Settings → Account.
  2. Click Sign out and confirm.

Signing out takes Pro off this computer immediately and frees its place. Your projects and files stay exactly where they are. Sign back in any time to switch Pro back on.

Lost or stolen computer

  1. On another computer, open Settings → Account.
  2. Under Signed-in computers, click Sign out of all computers.
  3. Click Sign out everywhere to confirm.

This signs your account out on every computer, including the one you're using, and takes Pro off all of them. Your purchases stay yours: sign in again on the computers you still have to switch Pro back on.

As with Remove, the lost computer's Granular is signed out the next time it goes online. Its Pro may keep working for a few weeks, up to about 6 weeks, before it goes back to Free. Your account, AI credits and published links can't be reached from it once it's signed out.

Frequently asked questions

How many computers can I use Pro on?
2 at the same time, for Pro Monthly, Annual and Lifetime alike. The Free plan has no limit.
Does reinstalling Granular use up a place?
No. Reinstalling Granular, updating it or renaming your computer keeps it the same computer. On Windows, reinstalling or resetting Windows itself makes it count as a new computer. Remove the old entry if you need the place.
How do I move Pro to a new computer?
Sign in on the new one. If Pro is already on 2 computers, choose your old computer when asked to switch one off. Or remove the old one first from Settings → Account.
Why does a computer I removed still have Pro?
That's expected for a while. A removed computer keeps Pro until its current unlock runs out, up to about 6 weeks. Its place is already free for you to use elsewhere.
Can I buy a second Pro to use more computers?
No. One account has one Pro, and it covers 2 computers. If you try to add a second Pro code, Granular tells you it's still unused so you can give it to someone else.
How often can I switch computers?
As often as you need. Each new computer needs you to sign in with the code sent to your email.
Does the AI Add-on have a computer limit?
It has no limit of its own. Your AI credits follow your account to any computer where you're signed in.
Why does the same computer appear twice under Signed-in computers?
Each time you sign in counts as one entry. An old entry you no longer use ends by itself after 30 days without use. You can also clear them all with Sign out of all computers.
