Activate Pro, protect your code, and get support
Choose Google Play purchase or restore, redeem a website activation code in either edition, save the Studio code, and set up optional recovery.
Before you start
- Connect the TV to the internet for license activation and validation.
Purchase or restore Pro in the Google Play edition
In the Google Play edition, open Settings → UPGRADE TO PRO. Review the one-time price shown by Google Play, then choose PURCHASE PRO and complete the Play purchase flow.
If you already purchased Pro through Google Play, choose RESTORE PURCHASE. It checks purchases linked to the Google Play account available to the TV.
After a successful purchase or restore, the app displays YOUR STUDIO ACTIVATION CODE. Save this code for Studio and future setup. If Pro is not active on this TV yet, choose RETRY CODE ACTIVATION to activate the securely saved code.
Use a website activation code in either edition
To buy a website code, visit tvapplaunchr.com on a phone or computer, choose Pro, complete the website purchase, and save the code shown after checkout. This is separate from a Google Play purchase.
On the sideload edition, open Settings → UPGRADE TO PRO → ENTER ACTIVATION CODE, type the code, and choose ACTIVATE WITH OK. On the Google Play edition, open ALREADY HAVE A STUDIO CODE? → ENTER ACTIVATION CODE, type it, and choose REDEEM CODE.
Both editions can redeem an existing website or Studio activation code. Activation validates with tvapplaunchr.com; if it cannot connect, check the TV’s internet connection and try again.
Use the Studio activation code and add optional recovery
Use YOUR STUDIO ACTIVATION CODE to sign in to Studio at /studio. The Google Play purchase email is not provided to the TV app or used as an activation code.
After Pro is active, the optional EMAIL YOUR PRO CODE section lets you choose ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS, type an address you can access, and choose VERIFY EMAIL. Follow the confirmation link to verify it; verifying the address does not itself send a code.
To recover a code, open /recover and request a link using a recovery address you previously verified. Website purchases can also use their checkout email. Open the private one-time link and choose Reveal my code when ready; the link expires after 15 minutes and cannot be reused.
Contact Pro support or sign out carefully
For Pro support, open /support and sign in with the activation code when asked. Do not post the code publicly.
SIGN OUT OF PRO affects this TV only and returns it to Free; local profiles, layouts, and wallpapers stay saved. Signing out does not cancel or refund a purchase. If you need to free a paired-TV slot, remove this TV in Studio.
- Google Play purchases and restores are performed on the TV through Google Play, not through Stripe checkout. Google Play does not provide the purchase email to the app; add and verify an email address if you want that recovery option.
- Keep the activation code somewhere private and safe. Previously saved Pro layouts are kept when a license is inactive, but activation still requires an internet connection.
