KeyRoutines Pro: buy, activate and move your licence
4 min read · Updated
KeyRoutines Pro is a one-time $29.99 upgrade for 2 PCs. Buy it at qaemdev.com/buy/keyroutines, copy the licence key from your receipt email, and paste it into Settings ▸ Pro in KeyRoutines. No subscription and no account.
What Pro adds
KeyRoutines is free, and the free version builds complete routines: hotkeys and every everyday trigger, opening and arranging apps, waiting until they're ready, audio, files, OBS scenes and recording, notifications and background hotkeys to desktop apps. Pro adds depth on top:
- Modes that turn on with one routine and put everything back when they turn off
- Scripting: Run PowerShell, command and JavaScript steps
- Web: HTTP request, webhooks and file downloads, plus the Webhook trigger
- Background text and clicks: Send text to app and Click in app
- More integrations: more OBS control and OBS event triggers, Discord voice such as joining a voice channel, Elgato lights and Wallpaper Engine
- Display: display mode and HDR on or off
- Typed text triggers, the debugger with breakpoints and stepping, and longer Run history
Safety features are always free: game-safe mode, the panic hotkey, the permission preview, the Recycle Bin and the undo journal. See Pricing for the full comparison.
Buy Pro
Check out
Go to qaemdev.com/buy/keyroutines. Payment is handled by Polar, QaemDev's payment provider. You pay once.
Look for the receipt email
Polar emails you a receipt with your licence key. Keep that email; it's the easiest place to find your key later.
Activate it
Open Settings ▸ Pro
In KeyRoutines, open Settings and go to Pro.
Paste your key
Paste the licence key from the email and activate it. KeyRoutines checks the key with Polar and registers this PC under its name. Pro steps unlock straight away.
You need to be online to activate. After that, KeyRoutines checks the licence quietly about once a week and keeps Pro working for a long stretch offline, so travelling without internet or a bad connection won't switch Pro off.
Use it on 2 PCs
One key works on two PCs at the same time, such as a desktop and a laptop. Paste the same key into Settings ▸ Pro on each one.
Move Pro to a new PC
Free up the old PC
On the PC you're leaving, open Settings ▸ Pro and choose Free up this PC. That gives the slot back to your key.
Activate the new PC
Install KeyRoutines on the new PC from the Microsoft Store, open Settings ▸ Pro and paste your key.
To take your routines with you, export them on the old PC and import them on the new one. Imported routines start switched off with a permission preview, so you'll turn each one back on.
Lost your key?
Search your inbox for the receipt email from Polar first. If you can't find it, open the customer portal at polar.sh/qaem/portal and sign in with the email address you used to buy. Your orders and your licence key are there.
Refunds
If Pro isn't right for you, you can ask for a refund within 14 days of buying. Contact support with the email you bought with. Your routines are never deleted: without Pro, KeyRoutines simply works as the free version, and routines that use Pro steps wait with "Needs Pro".
Common questions
Is it a subscription? No. You pay once.
Is Pro sold in the Microsoft Store? No. The app comes from the Store; Pro is sold separately at qaemdev.com through Polar, and the key goes in Settings ▸ Pro.
Do I need an account? No. The licence key is all you need.
Does the key get sent anywhere else? KeyRoutines only uses it to talk to Polar's licence service, and keeps it protected on your PC. It never writes your key to its logs.
