Activation
Activate your licence
Your licence key is activated inside the app, not on this website. Open VaakApp, go to the License tab in the sidebar, paste the key from your receipt email, and choose Activate. It needs a connection once; after that VaakApp works entirely offline.
VaakApp v1.0 hasn't shipped yet, so there are no licences to activate today. This page is here so it's ready and findable the moment there are.
We will never ask for your key on a web page
This page has no form on it, and it never will. VaakApp does not ask for licence keys, card details, or passwords through a website or an email reply. If a page or message claiming to be us asks you to type any of those, it isn't us — forward it to support@vaakapp.com.
Four steps
-
Find your licence key
It's in the receipt email from your purchase. Search your inbox for "VaakApp" — and check spam, because receipts land there more often than they should.
-
Open VaakApp and go to License
Click the tray icon to open the main window, then choose License in the sidebar. This is the only place your key should ever be typed — never into a web page, including this one.
-
Paste the key and activate
Paste the key, choose Activate, and wait a moment. This step needs an internet connection — it is the one time your licence talks to the outside world.
-
Go back offline and dictate
Once activated, VaakApp validates your licence locally. You can disconnect entirely and keep dictating — the speech model is on your machine, so nothing about typing with your voice needs the network.
If something goes wrong
- The key is rejected
- Check for a stray space or line break at either end — copying from an email often picks one up. Keys are not case-sensitive, but they are exact. If it still fails, send us the key and your order email at support@vaakapp.com.
- "Activation limit reached"
- Your licence covers 2 device activations. If you've replaced or reinstalled a machine, email support@vaakapp.com and we'll release the old one — you don't lose an activation to a dead hard drive.
- Activation can't reach the internet
- Activation is a single outbound HTTPS request. On a locked-down corporate network, a proxy or firewall may block it — try a different network for the one activation step, then go back offline for good.
- No receipt email arrived
- Payment goes through our payment provider as merchant of record, so the receipt comes from them. If nothing has arrived after a few minutes, email support@vaakapp.com from the address you paid with and we'll look it up and resend the key.
Still stuck? Email support@vaakapp.com — a person reads it. And if VaakApp simply isn't what you hoped, the 14-day refund is there and you don't have to explain yourself.
FAQ
Activation questions, answered
Where do I enter my VaakApp licence key?
In the app, not on this website. Open VaakApp, go to the License tab in the sidebar, paste your key, and choose Activate. Activation needs a connection once; after that VaakApp validates your licence locally and keeps working offline.
Where is my licence key?
It's in the receipt email from the checkout you completed. Search your inbox for "VaakApp" — including the spam folder. If it isn't there, email support@vaakapp.com with the address you paid with and we'll resend it.
Can I move my licence to a new computer?
Yes. Your licence covers 2 device activations. If you've used them all and need to move to a new machine, email support@vaakapp.com and we'll release the old activation.
Does VaakApp phone home to check my licence?
Not during dictation. Your licence is validated when you activate it and re-checked roughly every 60 days. That check sends the key plus a random one-time device identifier — not a hardware fingerprint — and never your audio or transcripts. Dictation itself makes no network calls at all.
