## What checkout means

The website return page confirms the purchase flow, but the Mac app controls paid access by validating your license key.

Checkout is only needed when you decide to keep Twenty.

One Twenty Mac license allows one active Mac at a time and includes 1 year of free updates.

The license key has no expiry for app access. Another year of updates is $5 when renewals are available through support or the customer portal.
