Use Settings → Premium & trends to start a trial, activate a purchased licence, check its status, or remove it.
Start a free trial
- Open StudyChime from the Chrome toolbar.
- Open Settings → Premium & trends.
- Select Get free trial.
- Enter your email address to request a trial licence key.
- StudyChime takes you to a confirmation page displaying your trial licence key. A copy of the key is also sent to your email address.
- Copy the key from the confirmation page or email into the Licence key field.
- Select Activate.
- Confirm that the Premium trial is shown as active.
Buy and activate Premium
You can buy Premium from inside StudyChime or from the StudyChime Premium page.
- Open Settings → Premium & trends.
- Select Unlock Premium, or start checkout from the StudyChime Premium page.
- Complete the purchase.
- StudyChime takes you to a confirmation page displaying your licence key. A copy of the key is also sent to your email address.
- Copy the licence key from the confirmation page or email.
- Return to Settings → Premium & trends.
- Paste the key into the Licence key field.
- Select Activate.
- Confirm that Premium is shown as active.
Keep the licence key somewhere safe in case you need to activate another browser later.
Find Premium features
With Premium active, use:
- Premium & trends to manage the licence, trial, Remote snooze, and Study Trends
- Filters & schedule to edit and activate filter profiles and alert schedules
- Appearance & sound to change the accent colour, choose or upload an alert sound, and test it
See the separate guides for filters, schedules, Study Trends, and Remote snooze.
Check Premium status
Open Settings → Premium & trends and confirm that Premium is active. If Premium-only settings are visible but do not apply, check the status before changing those settings.
Premium can remain available for up to 24 hours after the last successful licence verification. Trials and other time-limited access may expire sooner. After the offline period ends, reconnect so StudyChime can verify the licence; saved settings and the licence key remain on the device during a temporary connection problem.
Remove a licence
- Open Settings → Premium & trends.
- Select Remove licence.
- Confirm that Premium is no longer shown as active.
Removing a licence stops Premium access in that browser. It does not delete saved profiles, settings, or local Trends history, but Premium-only behaviour is not applied until Premium is active again.
Move Premium to another browser
Install StudyChime in the new browser or Chrome profile, then activate the same licence key from Settings → Premium & trends.
Settings and Trends do not move with the licence. Export a settings backup and Trends CSV from the old browser if you want to transfer them. Trial licences cannot be transferred.
If activation reports that the licence has reached its activation limit, contact support.
If activation fails
- Copy the key again from the StudyChime confirmation page or the purchase or trial email.
- Remove any spaces before or after it.
- Check that the browser is online.
- Confirm StudyChime is up to date.
- Try Activate again.
A refunded, cancelled, expired, or already-used trial licence may not activate. If the problem continues, email [email protected] with the error message and whether you are activating a trial or paid licence. Do not send the licence key or your Prolific password.
