🔑 How to Activate Your Mailbird Next License

After purchasing a Mailbird Next license, you'll receive a confirmation email containing your license key. You’ll need this key to activate Mailbird on your computer. It's useful to know the following:

  • The same key can be used to activate Mailbird Next on Windows and on Mac

  • Each license key supports up to three devices.

⚠️ Note: Because of Apple's App Store restrictions, it isn’t possible to enter or edit a license key within the App Store version of Mailbird Next. However, it's important to note that despite this small but significant difference, the app is identical to the one which can downloaded from our website.
 
If you installed the App Store version of Mailbird Next, but previously purchased your license directly from our website, simply download Mailbird Next again from our website. Once installed, you’ll be able to enter your key and activate your license without any issues.

🚀 Activation Steps

To activate your Mailbird Next license:

  1. Open Mailbird Next

  2. Click the gear icon on the left-hand side to open the Mailbird menu.

  3. In the General tab, click Activate License.

  4. Paste your license key into the field that appears.

  5. Click Activate.

You're all set: your license is now active! 🎉
