Understanding the fields
These fields all live in Settings → License & Account, reached from the gear icon:- Sign in / Pair this device — the button shown when a device isn’t yet licensed. Starts the sign-in flow that links this device to your BillBasket account.
- Licensed to — once signed in, shows your account’s business name, owner name, mobile number, and email — read-only, coming from your account rather than this device.
- Package — your current plan name.
- Trial Stores / Pro Stores — your plan’s usage as “X of Y” for each tier. A new store usually starts as a trial; Activate this store converts it to a Pro store using a free Pro slot, if one exists — all data is preserved either way. If both your Trial and Pro slots are full, activating a new device or store isn’t possible until a slot is freed (see Devices & login) or your plan is upgraded.
- License status / Valid until / days left — the offline entitlement lease’s state and expiry. BillBasket renews this automatically in the background every 6 hours while online, so the app keeps working for a window of time even without internet — the days-left counter only matters if you go a long stretch offline.
- Upgrade / Manage plan — opens your BillBasket account online to change plans or add slots.
There’s no separate “enter a license key” field in the current app — the
entire flow is account sign-in based. If your plan is at its device
limit, BillBasket tells you to free up a slot first rather than letting
you enter a code to bypass it.

1
Install BillBasket on the new device
Rajesh Sharma has just bought a second counter PC for Sharma Kirana
Store. He installs BillBasket and, on first launch, is asked to sign in
or activate a license.
2
Sign in with the store's BillBasket account
He signs in with the same BillBasket account email he used on his
original device. BillBasket checks his plan and confirms he still has a
free device slot available.
3
Let the license activate automatically
The new PC activates against Rajesh’s plan and unlocks the full app —
no separate license key entry needed since he’s signed into the same
account.
4
Free up a slot if the device count is full
A few months later, Rajesh tries to activate a third device but his plan
only allows two. BillBasket tells him to free up a slot first — see
Devices & login
to sign an old device out.
