The Base license for Elements only allows the creation of 2 global components per project. Plus and Pro licenses can create an unlimited number of Global Components per project.
The Base license for Elements does not allow the creation or duplication of new or existing themes. Plus and Pro licenses can create and modify an unlimited number of themes.
The Base license for Elements will place a small floating badge in the corner of your website showing it was built with Elements. Plus and Pro licenses have no visible Elements branding.
Forms are available in all version of Elements, however, the ability to send form data via a webhook is only available in the Pro version of Elements.
An active Pro license is required for developing and selling websites to third-party clients. More details on this can be found below.
With the Plus license, your sites are free from any Elements branding. This allows for a more professional and polished look, whether you’re building personal projects, websites for friends, or community sites.
Beyond branding, Plus also unlocks additional features, including unlimited globals and unlimited custom components, giving you more flexibility in designing and managing your websites. While this license allows for a wide range of non-commercial use, it does not permit selling websites to clients.
If you ever decide to take on paid web design work, upgrading to Pro ensures you have the proper license for commercial projects.
An active Pro license is required for those using Elements as a professional tool. It ensures that as a Pro user you have everything you need to meet the demands of client work, from the freedom to sell websites to the reliable support and advanced features required to excel in a competitive market.
The Pro license pricing reflects the added value, flexibility, and commercial rights that the Pro license provides compared to the Base license.
Resell Websites and Client Projects - An active Pro license is required for users to develop and sell websites to third-party clients, making it the ideal choice for freelancers, agencies, or anyone building websites as part of their business. With this license, users have the freedom to fully leverage Elements’ powerful tools and customizations to create and deliver high-quality websites for clients, turning Elements into a valuable asset for generating revenue.
The Base license is meant for personal projects or hobbyists, while the Pro license is designed for freelancers, agencies, and businesses who are making money from reselling websites.
Priority Support - The Pro license is specifically aimed at professionals working on client projects, where timely support is crucial. Elements’ priority support helps Pro users troubleshoot issues, get answers to complex questions, and keep projects moving forward without delay—making it a reliable tool for maintaining client satisfaction and meeting project deadlines.

Hopefully this day will never come, but if you need to cancel your subscription for one of our apps, visit the Billing Manager page.
In the event you cancel your subscription, any apps registered will continue providing all of its updates till the end of the current subscription period (the one you’ve already paid for).
You'll see this message if you're trying to activate a newer version of Elements that was released after your subscription period ended.
If your subscription has expired and you're trying to use a new version of Elements that was released after your subscription period you'll see the "Update Period Expired" window. You now have a couple of options. You can choose to purchase a new subscription to get access to the new version or get an older version of Elements that was covered during your active subscription period.
Elements will show you what version you can still use underneath the "Renew License" button. Clicking the button will take you to the release notes page where you can download this version.
First, make sure you are running the latest version of Elements.
The first thing to check is that your license number is correct. You'll often see this error if the code is slightly wrong or missing a digit.
If you've triple-checked and made sure you're license code is correct, try the following steps:
Launch Elements and choose "Registration…" from the "Elements" menu.
Deactivate your Mac using the "Activations (1 of 2)" button, and Elements should become Unregistered. (if required)
Restart your Mac.
Launch Elements.
Open the Registration window again and press the "Activate License…" button and enter your new license details.
You should now be up and running.
If you're still having issues, you can email support@realmacsoftware.com, and we'll be able to help you out.
If you see the following "Unable to Activate" message, it may mean your license was entered incorrectly, or Elements is having trouble validating it over the internet.
You can email support@realmacsoftware.com with your license, we can check if it's valid and working. If it is, and your license is still not activating on your Mac, you should try the following things:
Check you don't have iCloud Private Relay or a VPN running.
Check you've not installed anything that blocks or tracks network traffic (i.e. LittleSnitch.app).
Reboot your Mac.
Try activating your license on another Mac.
Try activating your license on another network (3G/4G from your Phone).
Try starting your Mac in Safe Mode. A guide can be found here on how to do this.
Trying out the above will help you narrow down the problem and determine if your Mac or network is causing the issue.
You can purchase Elements via our website.
If you have any issues or need anything clarifying, please email.
Q: I didn't receive a license email. Where is it?!
When you purchase Elements you will receive an order confirmation email within 5 minutes confirming your order along with your license number. The email will be sent from "mailer@fastspring.com" which is our payment provider. If you can't find the email it's usually because of one of the following reasons:
The email from us ended up in your Spam Folder.
You entered your email address incorrectly when purchasing (no shame, we've all done it!).
The first step is to check your spam folder for anything from Realmac Software or mailer@fastspring.com.
If you still can't find your order email, you can contact us directly: support@realmacsoftware.com. Please include your name, email address, and when you purchased Elements — this will help speed up the search!

Not in the traditional sense. When you purchase a Elements license from our website, you are automatically subscribed to one year of app updates. The license itself will not expire (you can use it forever), however the one year period of app updates will renew on an annual basis.
Please note the following:
Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel them.
If you cancel, your one year period of app updates will remain active until the next renewal date.
You can manage your subscription here.
You can cancel your subscription anytime via your Billing Manager.
We offer a 30 day money-back guarantee from the date you initially purchase a license for our software. During those initial 30 days you can cancel your subscription and request a refund with no questions asked.
Subsequent automatic subscription renewals are not refundable under our 30 day money-back guarantee.
Your one year period of app updates will remain active. You will continue to receive updates until the next renewal date. If you wish to receive further updates after that renewal date, you will need to manually re-subscribe.
You get to keep the version of Elements you're currently using, you just won't receive any further updates to it. You'll need to re-subscribe to start receiving updates again.
