What can be exported
Section titled “What can be exported”Everything that leaves Totsum comes out of the follow-up report. You can export the report itself, and you can save a chart, a query-flow diagram or the data behind a result from it as a separate file. There is no export from the Explore list and no export of a source table.
Two different markings
Section titled “Two different markings”The licence watermark marks files made with a Trial or Personal licence. Commercial removes it.
The “Generated by AI.” marking is different. Every exported file that contains AI-generated content, which means the report and the images saved from it, carries that sentence visibly and a machine-readable marking in the file’s metadata. It stays on every edition, Commercial included.
The license agreement defines permitted use in full. The watermark is a segmentation measure, not a technical enforcement mechanism.
Activating your license
Section titled “Activating your license”- After purchase, your license key arrives by e-mail within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you do not see it. The receipt comes separately, from Paddle.
- In Totsum, open Help → License… (or use the key screen shown at start-up).
- Paste the whole key.
- Activation is verified locally on your device. It needs no account, and it works on a computer with no network connection.
The e-mail holds the key in its body and as an attached text file, and the license agreement you accepted travels with it as a PDF.
We issue no key without a recorded acceptance of the agreement before the order. If an order reaches us without one, it is cancelled and refunded in full, and you can buy again from the pricing page, which asks for the acceptance first.
Personal licences carry an opaque licence identifier in the chart watermark. It is not your name, your email address or your licence key. It is a short code that we can match back to your licence record, and that someone receiving an exported chart ordinarily cannot trace to you.
Keep your license safe
Section titled “Keep your license safe”Your license key arrives by email. Keep that email somewhere safe. If you ever reinstall Totsum or move to a new machine, you re-enter the key to activate again.
Moving to a new machine
Section titled “Moving to a new machine”Your license is a signed key, not a machine binding. Install Totsum on the new machine and re-enter the same key. One license is for one person. Using the same license across your own desktop and laptop is fine, whereas sharing it with someone else is not.
Lost your key?
Section titled “Lost your key?”Email us from the address you used at checkout, and we’ll resend your license. The imprint gives the contact address.
Trial limits
Section titled “Trial limits”The trial includes unlimited questions on the 3 bundled sample datasets, plus 10 questions on your own imported files. It has no time limit and needs no account.
On the trial, charts and query-flow diagrams carry a watermark, and nothing can be exported.
The trial runs on a free trial key, because Totsum starts only with a key.
To get the key, you give an e-mail address on totsum.app/try. The e-mail we send links to a page where you accept the license agreement, and the key is issued from that acceptance.
There is one trial per person, and no more than one key per address. If you ask again, we re-send the same link, or the same key once you have accepted, at most once a day.
When you reach the limit on your own files, buying a license activates the same installation in place, and your workspaces are untouched.
