Releasing a Mac now stays released. It looked like it worked and undid itself on the next launch, because the licence key was kept behind and the app quietly activated again with it. Releasing now forgets the key too, exactly as the confirmation says it will.

A release that cannot reach the licence service now fails and says so, instead of clearing this Mac while the service still counts the seat as taken. That left the app stopped here and the next Mac refused, with no way out of it.

Activating a licence now says so. Entering your key showed a confirmation, closed the window and brought the dock up — before, the field simply cleared and the window stayed, so the only way to tell it had worked was to close it and look in Settings.

RadicalDock is now a licensed app. One licence covers one Mac at a time and can be moved to another whenever you like, and every future update is included.

The download is a third of the size. The 1,550 folder icons from the BeautifulWall collection are fetched when you first open the icon picker rather than shipped with the app, so a new install is 34 MB instead of 119 MB. RadicalDock's own 79 designs are still built in and work with no network at all.

Your licence is checked once when you activate it, then about monthly. It keeps working for thirty days with no connection at all, so a flight or an outage changes nothing.
