Installation and trial

Installing the app

Régence downloads directly from regence.app — a classic DMG file. Once downloaded, open the file and drag Régence into the Applications folder.

The app requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, and runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Updates are automatic: when a new version ships, Régence offers it at launch — one click, nothing to re-download.

The free trial

On first launch, Régence starts a 7-day free trial — no account, no credit card, no form. Every feature is open, with a single limit: 10 full game analyses per day. The day’s counter is visible in the trial banner at the top of the main window.

When the 7 days end, a screen says so — and nothing disappears: games, analyses, studies and folders stay on the Mac. The app simply waits for a license to resume analyses.

Activating a license

The license is a one-time purchase on regence.app — no subscription. The key arrives by email right after purchase.

To activate it: click Activate in the trial banner (or on the end-of-trial screen), then paste the key in the Activate Régence window. It takes effect immediately, and the daily limit disappears.

One license covers 2 Macs — say, the desktop and the laptop. To move to a new machine, deactivate the license on the old one from the license window, then activate it on the new one.
