## Buy a license

Choose **Help > Support TablePro**. The screen states how the project is funded and carries two actions: **Buy a License** opens the pricing page, **Sponsor on GitHub** opens [the sponsorship page](https://github.com/sponsors/datlechin). Both open in your default browser.
Choose **Help > Support TablePro**, or click **Support TablePro** under the app name on the welcome window or in the sidebar footer of a connection window. The window states how the project is funded and carries two actions: **Buy a License** opens the pricing page and **Sponsor on GitHub** opens [the sponsorship page](https://github.com/sponsors/datlechin), both in your default browser.

Prices, renewals, and invoices live on tablepro.app. With a license already active, the screen drops the purchase action and keeps the sponsorship one.
Use at work is free too. If TablePro is part of your work, a license is asked for, never required: the AGPL puts no condition on use. Prices, renewals, and invoices live on tablepro.app. Once a license is active, the window keeps only the sponsorship action and the **Support TablePro** links disappear.

Until then, **Support TablePro** also sits under the app name on the welcome window and in the sidebar footer of every connection window. Both open the same screen, and both disappear once a license is active. Nothing else in the app raises the subject: no prompt at launch, no countdown, no banner.
### The ask on the 30th day

On the 30th day you use TablePro without a license, a sheet on the window in use asks whether you would buy one:

| Button | What happens next |
|---|---|
| **Buy a License** | The pricing page opens. The sheet returns in 90 days if there is still no license. |
| **I Use It Personally** | No sheet for a year. |
| **Not Now**, or `Esc` | The sheet returns in 90 days. |

It waits out the first five minutes after launch and any running query, and appears only on a connection, data file, or welcome window. A day counts once TablePro is in use on it, and the count stays on your Mac.
