Important Information for New Users:
Option 1: Basic License
A basic license allows one virtual key which can be used on more than one computer on a non-concurrent basis. This meets the needs of any reporter who uses one computer for the majority of their work; however, it also accommodates limited switching between other computers. To use your virtual key on another computer, you must first deactivate the registered computer if you have the basic license.
This basic license option is the most economical option for any reporter.
Option 2: Additional Activations
If your regular work environment requires that you move between computers several times a day, you should purchase the additional registered installation(s) for your license. This option may be added at the time of sale, or at any time when you exceed the basic license usage.
When you add activations, you register your computers for your license. With this option, you are free to switch between your registered computers without performing the deactivation function.
This offers ease and convenience but does not grant license for concurrent usage or multiple users (such as your scopist). If one computer is idle, you may switch to the other computer with this option. The Option 1 (basic license) does not offer this convenience.
Option 3: Power User
If you are a "power user" please refer to our bundled package which includes Basic Reporter + Trialbook Streaming + 2nd installation. The second activation for power users is complimentary.

Keyless Activation
Keyless activation is simple! You’ll need access to high-speed internet to download the software and then activate your virtual key onto a registered computer for the first time. Your StenoCAT login account will record your unique virtual key ID and your computer identification for the particular license options you selected when you first purchased your product.
Sometime after your first activation, your software will prompt you when it needs to re-validate your license. Then, take the recommended action once you receive the prompt. Re-validation requests will be conducted randomly throughout the service period, but each time you will receive a notification to access the internet within the required timeframe. To re-validate, you must have StenoCAT open while connected to the internet.
To give you the best peace of mind in any job, we recommend you always prep your machine and check your writer, your computer, and all your cables the night before a major trial. Make sure your operating system is not going to drop into “automatic update” mode in the middle of a session. Then connect to the internet (and start StenoCAT) to re-validate the software installation automatically. This is the best way to ensure you keep your access uninterrupted.
Additional Concurrent Session
If there is another individual who regularly works with you to edit your transcripts, and you want to offer them an editing license, you may suggest a concurrent edit session having its own unique license identification. You may not offer this individual use of your additional activation as these activations are not designed to be used concurrently, and such attempts to use them in this way would be a violation of our user end license agreement. Contact Sales to see what discounts are available for bundled software – these are not available online. Bundled software quotes may be requested for any purchase of four or more licenses. The Reporter/Agency purchasing the bundle is responsible for purchase, annual renewals, and user access to the software.
The individual Scopist is always free to purchase their own license to provide independent services to multiple clients, but they would not receive the bundled discount and would manage their own license.
