Unlock Paid Features

Daneel is free to use for most things, and a small set of features are gated behind a one-time license purchase. This tutorial walks you through buying a license and activating it on your machine. No account, no subscription — a single payment delivers a key that works across all your browsers and devices.

Which features are paid changes over time as Daneel evolves. How Licensing Works explains the model; the current list of what’s gated is visible in the extension itself — any locked feature is marked as such in its own panel. You don’t need to decide up front.

1. Open the License panel

1. Click the Daneel launcher on any page to open the widget.
2. Click the gear icon to open settings.
3. In the sidebar, click License.

You’ll see your current status. If this is a fresh install, the panel shows “Free plan — Some features are locked.”

2. Click Unlock

Click the Unlock card. A new tab opens with a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Fill in your email and card details, then complete the purchase.

Note

Daneel never sees your card details. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe, and only the final “a purchase happened” event and the email you used at checkout are relayed to the Daneel backend.

3. Wait for auto-activation

After payment, Stripe redirects you to a success page. Within a few seconds, the extension detects the redirect, fetches your license key, and activates it automatically. You’ll see your license panel flip to “Premium active” with a green masked preview of your key, e.g. DAN-XXXX-..-D78B.

4. Check your email

You will receive two emails right after payment:

• A receipt from Stripe at receipts@stripe.com, containing your receipt number (format XXXX-XXXX).
• A license-key email from Daneel at noreply@daneel.injen.io, containing your full DAN-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX key in plaintext.

Save both. The license key is your identity — you’ll need it to activate Daneel on a second machine or after a reinstall. The receipt number is your second factor for recovering a lost key.

Caution

Daneel has no account you can log into and no password reset. Losing both the key and the receipt number means losing automated recovery. Store them in a password manager like any other credential.

5. Verify activation

Back in the License panel, you should now see:

• Premium active with a green unlocked-lock icon
• Your plan name
• The masked license key
• A “Refreshes in Nd” line — the extension refreshes the token automatically before it expires, so you never need to re-enter your key

Paid features are now unlocked across all your browsing sessions, and the extension keeps working offline using its cached token.
