Buy a licence key
One payment per language unlocks both editions for good: the Dialogs app and the Vocabulary app. There is no subscription, no account and nothing to renew, and the key keeps working offline.
How ordering works
Five minutes of your time, no account to create.
- Click Order by e-mail in the table below. Your mail app opens with the product name, the version and a short template filled in. Add your name and country and send it.
- We reply with the payment options for your country - card, PayPal or bank transfer - and confirm the price in US dollars.
- Pay, then reply to the same e-mail with the payment reference. That is all we need to match your order.
- Your licence key arrives by e-mail in the form
HZ1-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, normally within one business day (Hong Kong time, UTC+8). - Activate it: open either edition, right-click the window or the tray icon and choose Enter License Key…, paste the key and click Activate. The other edition picks it up on its next start.

Buying questions
Which payment methods can I use?
Card, PayPal or bank transfer, depending on your country - we confirm the exact options in the reply to your order e-mail. We never ask for card numbers by e-mail.
How quickly do I get the key?
Usually within one business day (Hong Kong time, UTC+8). If you have not heard from us after two days, please write again; mail filters occasionally eat the reply.
Can I buy more than one language?
Yes. Each language is its own key and its own purchase, and every purchase already includes both the Dialogs and the Vocabulary edition of that language.
Where is my key stored after activation?
Inside your Windows user profile, so it stays with your account on that PC. Nothing is sent to us when you activate, and the app keeps working offline.
