Troubleshoot Mnemosyne.

Can't find an item, a document won't import, an assignment isn't showing up, or your license won't activate? Here are the key steps to check before contacting support.

Where should I start?

First, identify the type of problem.

If you're having a problem with your files or with some information, start by using the global search and the inspector.

If you're having a configuration issue, check the Settings. If the problem involves a license, first determine which version you're using: Mac App Store or a direct purchase through Lemon Squeezy.

License & Activation

Understanding your Mnémosyne license.

How it works depends on the purchase channel. The Mac App Store edition does not require a license key. The edition purchased directly from KharonBridge via Lemon Squeezy uses an activation license.

1
purchase

A direct purchase provides a Mnémosyne license.

2
Mac

This license can be activated on two Macs.

↻
transferable activation

A Mac can be deactivated in order to free up its activation for another computer.

Mac App Store

No password required

If you purchased Mnémosyne from the Mac App Store, the app is ready to use right after installation. You don't need to enter a license key in the app.

Purchases and downloads are managed through your Apple account.

No manual activation
Buy Direct · Lemon Squeezy

1 license · 2 Macs

If you purchased Mnémosyne directly from KharonBridge, your license key allows you to activate the application on two Macs.

Activations are managed directly from Mnémosyne under Settings → License and Activation.

Where can I manage the license?

Everything is done from Settings.

In the Mnémosyne direct editor, open Settings, then «License and Activation.».

This section displays the license status and the instance of the Mac currently in use. It allows you to activate or deactivate this computer.

So you don't need to contact support just because you're replacing a Mac as part of normal use: you can release the activation yourself before activating the new machine.

Switching Macs

Transfer an activation to a new Mac.

If you replace one of your Macs, you can release its activation directly from Mnémosyne and then use the same license on your new machine.

1
Open Mnémosyne on an older Mac

Go to Settings → License and Activation.

2
Click «Deactivate This Mac»

The activation used by this computer has been released and can be used on another Mac.

3
Set up Direct Edit on your new Mac

Be sure to use the edition that corresponds to your direct purchase of KharonBridge through Lemon Squeezy.

4
Use your existing license

Enter the same license key in Settings → License and Activation, confirm it, and then activate the new Mac.

2
You can keep two Macs active.

If your license is currently being used on only one Mac, you can activate a second Mac directly. Deactivation becomes necessary when you want to replace a machine but both available activations are already in use.

i
What happens to a Mac that's turned off?

The files on this computer remain readable, but changes are blocked until Mnémosyne is reactivated on this Mac.

Copy the key associated with your order again, then open Settings → License and Activation to validate it.

Recommended Action Check the version → copy the key → validate the license → activate this Mac.
Bachelor's Degree 03

I already have two activated Macs

A Mnémosyne direct license allows you to use the application on two Macs.

If you want to use the license on a third computer to replace an older Mac, open Mnémosyne on the Mac you no longer want to use and click «Deactivate this Mac.».

Recommended Action Old Mac → Settings → License and Activation → Deactivate this Mac → Activate the new Mac.
Bachelor's Degree 04

I got a new Mac

You don't need to purchase a new license. Your purchase already allows for activation on two Macs, and each activation can be released from within the app.

If your old machine is still accessible, shut it down before installing and activating Mnémosyne on the new one.

Key Takeaways Switching to a different Mac doesn't require you to buy Mnémosyne again.
Bachelor's Degree 05

I no longer have access to my old Mac

If you can no longer open Mnémosyne on the old computer to deactivate it and both of your slots are already in use, contact KharonBridge support.

Please use the email address associated with your purchase so that your order can be identified.

When to Contact Support Old Mac that can't be accessed + two activations already used.
Bachelor's Degree 06

I bought it from the Mac App Store

The Mac App Store version does not require a license key.

If you see a key activation process even though your purchase was made through Apple, make sure you’re using the version downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Recommended Action Check the source of the app before taking any further action.
