License Purchase & Activation
Purchase flow
Purchases currently go through a manual bank transfer — online payment isn't wired up yet.
Fill out the purchase form
Go to the "Pricing" section on the website and submit your email.
Pay via the transfer details
After submitting, you'll see the transfer details (bank, account name, account number, amount). Once you've completed the transfer, reply with the last five digits of the transferring account so we can match your payment.
Wait for your key
Our support team issues your license key to the email you provided within 1 business day, along with the installer download link in the same email.
License keys look like LIC-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (groups of 4 alphanumeric characters, e.g. LIC-A1B2-C3D4-E5F6).
How to activate
When you open the console, a standalone activation screen appears in front of the main app — you can't get past it until the key is activated.
Open the console
The "TStar Console" activation window sits in the middle of the screen, with the note: "Enter your license key to get started. The key binds to this PC; you can switch TikTok accounts freely."
Paste your license key
Paste the key support sent you into the "License key" field.
Click “Activate and enter”
Once it validates, you go straight into the console. Every launch after that skips this screen — you never re-enter the key.
Don't have a key yet? The activation screen has a "No license key yet? Buy on the website" link at the bottom that takes you to the pricing page.
Once activated, the next step is connecting your TikTok account — see Connect Your TikTok Account.
The key binds to a PC, not to a TikTok account
One key, one PC
Your license key is bound to this PC. After activation you can freely switch which TikTok account you go live with on the same PC — the key is never asked for again.
To move the same key to a different PC, you can't do it yourself in the console — email support to have it unbound. Include your key plus the first 12 characters of the Device Code shown in the Settings page's "Device Information" panel.
Renewing an expired license
Once the license expires, the next launch drops you back onto the same activation screen with the message "License expired on <date> — enter a new key to renew and continue." Paste the new key and click "Renew and enter."
If it expires while you're already inside the console, you don't have to restart: an extra "License key (renewal)" field appears in the bottom connection bar — paste the new key there and carry on.
