Release notes.

All changes, improvements and new features in LicenseManagerPro – chronological, complete, honest.

v 5.0.2 September 2026

Tidied up and sorted.

New
  • Duplicate entries are merged: The check now runs at every start and also covers categories you created yourself and licenses you imported. Previously it only caught the categories that ship with the app.
  • Freeware management on by default: The freeware area is available right away.
Improved
  • Tidier settings: “About” is now at the top and opens first. “Pro Version” has become “Full Version”, matching the heading inside it. And Import/Export is no longer a setting but an area of its own – the license list stays where it is.
  • Clear numbers: After an export you are told how many licenses and how many freeware entries the file contains. The diagnostics for iCloud synchronisation tell them apart as well.
  • Custom fields: Up to ten custom fields per license. Existing licenses with more keep them.
  • Applications folder: When taking the details from an installed app, the chooser now opens in the Applications folder.

// Enjoy this release.

v 5.0.1 September 2026

Diagnostics instead of guesswork.

New
  • Log file: Under Settings, Logging you can switch on a log. The scope is adjustable, the contents can be viewed right inside the app – and sent along with a support request at the tap of a button.
  • Diagnostics for iCloud synchronisation: Under Settings, iCloud Synchronization one tap shows the state of the iCloud account, the account identifier and the records on this device compared with iCloud. That makes it a matter of seconds to tell whether two devices use the same account and in which direction a transfer is stuck.
Improved
  • Search including notes: The quick search now also looks through the notes, not just the name. The search term is also kept when you switch between licenses and freeware.

// Enjoy this release.

v 5.0.0 August 2026

Now also for the iPhone.

New
  • iPhone version: LicenseManagerPro is now available for the iPhone as well – complete, not cut down. License list, search, advanced search, categories, dashboard and all settings are included.
  • One purchase for all devices: The full version covers Mac, iPad and iPhone at the same time.
  • Unified version numbers: From this release on, Mac, iPad and iPhone carry the same version number.
  • New accent colour: Almond White has been added, Pink has been removed.
Fixed
  • Choosing folders on iPad and iPhone: The default export folder and the backup folder can be selected there again.
  • Unlocking with Face ID: Now works reliably.

// Enjoy this release.

v 4.8.0 July 2026

CSV import without limits.

New
  • CSV import of any format: When a CSV file doesn't match a known format, you now decide yourself which column goes into which field. The mapping is suggested automatically, and a preview shows the result right away.
  • Remember mappings: Field mappings you've set up can be saved under a name. The next time you import a file with the same columns, they are detected and applied automatically – you can manage them in Settings under Import/Export.
  • Detect manufacturer and license links automatically: If a manufacturer column is missing, the manufacturer is derived from the download address. If the key field contains a link to a license file, it is stored in the notes.
  • More reliable duplicate detection: The order number is now also taken into account during import, so several products from the same order are better distinguished from genuine new purchases.
Fixed
  • Scroll position on iPad: When you tap a license, the license list now stays in place instead of jumping back to the top.

// Enjoy this release.

v 4.7.0 July 2026

Passwords & status light.

New
  • Password field in custom fields: Custom fields can now be created as a password — the content is shown masked and can be revealed or hidden via an eye icon.
  • Copyable fields: For custom fields you can now decide whether the content can be copied at the press of a button.
  • New “Password” field in the user information: You can now record a password for each license — masked, show/hide and copyable.
  • Status light: A colored dot now clearly shows whether a license is still valid. Green, yellow when expiration is near, red when reached — configurable in Settings.
Fixed
  • Sort order in the freeware view: The sort order is now kept when switching to the freeware view and is now also saved there.
  • Reset categories: Works reliably again.

// Enjoy this release.

v 4.6.0 July 2026

Licenses & freeware, separated.

New
  • Manage licenses and freeware separately: A switch at the top of the sidebar lets you toggle between your paid licenses and your freeware. You enable freeware management in Settings — where you also decide which fields appear when recording freeware. This lets you hide everything you don't need for free software (license keys, prices, expiration dates) and keep a lean input form tailored to you. Icon, name, version, manufacturer, operating system and category are always included; user data, links, attachment, notes, installation date and custom fields can each be enabled individually.

// Enjoy this release.
