License and payment FAQs

The free trial period of the Magic Utilities is without any commitment to buy or subscribe.
As a related subscription doesn't exists, you cannot cancel it.

If the Magic Utilities doesn't suit your needs, simply uninstall them.

If you liked the Magic Utilities, consider to buy a license.

Even if a license expires after one or two years, it is a one-time payment that does not renew automatically.
So you cannot cancel a subscription.

If you liked the Magic Utilities, you buy another license.
If you don't use it anymore, you do not pay any accidental fees a year or two later.

The Magic Utilities will give you a license expiry reminder,
you don't need to "manage" anything other than renewing your license.

I already tried the Magic Utilities, how can I try my new Magic device?

If you don't have a license, contact us for a trial extension.

I already have a license, how can I try my new Magic device?

You need to contact us. We'll send you an updated license which includes a new trial period.

A license is locked to the provided device serial numbers and is valid for the selected period (1 or 2 years) from date of purchase or (in case of a renewal) when a previous license ends. This means:

• A license is only valid for these devices. You can't use other keyboards, mice or trackpads.
• A license is portable. It can be used on any compatible Windows computer as long as you use the same devices.
• If a license expires all features provided by version 3 stop working until you renew your license.

What happens if my device has been replaced because of a repair?

You need to contact us. We will update your current license with the new device serial numbers. The expiry date will not change.

Yes, you can renew early. Your new license will contain the remaining days from your current license.

No, we offer only one and two-year licenses. We are aware that some people do not like this, but without the subscription model, the Magic Utilities 3 would not exist. It's that simple.

As you can imagine we operate in a tiny niche market. What looks like magic for you - Install it with five clicks and it works - is pretty complicated and is still a vast amount of work which is only sustainable with a subscription model.

On a two year license, the cost per month per device is about 1 US dollar. We believe this is a fair price.

For practical reasons we use the unique Bluetooth address to license your device and not the printed serial number at the bottom of the device.

No, we don't offer any additional non-profit, educational, disability, pension, veteran, war zone or other discounts.

All available discounts are listed on our pricing page.

If you buy a license or contacting us, it's really easier for both sides to use a private email address like GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, @me ...

Company mail servers and firewalls have very strict filtering systems for SPAM and Malware. They block any suspicious email without notifying the sender. That's why we send two emails, one notification email and one which contains the license.

But it still happens often that someone buys a license from a company email account but never gets any of our emails. They start complaining, we answer, but they don't get our answer... This all takes time (and work) and can be frustrating for both sides.
