Subscription active
MyShell Cloud is active
Your subscription is linked to your Desktop license. No new license key is needed.
- Open MyShell on a device with your Desktop license already activated.
- Make sure you used the same email as your Desktop purchase at checkout.
- Cloud sync and hosted AI turn on after the app refreshes entitlements (usually within a minute).
- If features stay off, quit and reopen MyShell, or sign out and back in under Settings → License.
Don't have a Desktop license yet? Buy Desktop first, activate with your key, then subscribe to MyShell Cloud.
