One key. One time.
The free build plays. A key lifts the caps on the tools that shape the motion. No subscription, and updates stay free for as long as you use Motive.
The free build is the same download. Paste a key into it whenever you want the rest.
Free and key
Everything needed to watch a video with a device moving in time with it is free. A key buys control over how it moves.
| Feature | Free | Key |
|---|---|---|
| Play a video and its script to any supported device | yes | yes |
| Forum posts in place | yes | yes |
| Headset, Screen, EDI | yes | yes |
| Labels on the video | yes | yes |
| Device speed | up to 1.25× | any |
| Depth | up to 1.2× | any, plus the reach sliders |
| Custom axes | one, "sometimes" up to 30% | all, any chance |
| Combos per label, motion presets | no | yes |
| Skins | 4 of 17 | all 17, plus the font and layout pickers |
| Regenerate — a script from a video | no | with a key that includes it |
Locked rows stay drawn and answering, so you can see what a key changes before you buy one.
What a key is
- One key runs on one PC at a time. Two PCs in use at once need two keys; you can buy more than one in an order.
- Unlocking asks the licence server. If it cannot be reached, the key unlocks anyway for seven days, and Motive asks again each time it starts until the server answers.
- After that the unlock is a file on your own PC, good for a year, and needs no internet.
- One check per launch, about half a minute in, asks whether the key has moved to another PC, and quietly collects the next year when the file is inside its last two months. The FAQ lists what that request carries.
- Moving to a new PC means pasting the same key there. The first move is free; after that a move waits 30 days. On a PC you are leaving for good, use Take the key off this PC in Settings.
- Free updates, forever, no matter which version you bought at.
Refunds
Keys are delivered instantly, and all sales are final once your key has been sent. If Motive does not work on your machine, write first: I will help you get it running, and if it genuinely cannot work I will refund you.
A key that has never been activated and does not work gets replaced; send your order ID. A key that refuses after activation is almost always the one-PC binding rather than the key itself, and that takes a second to clear from my side.
Email support@motiveplayer.com. If it is about a key, include your order ID.
