Activate Pro (optional)
The free tier covers 3 bulk operations and 50 inline edits per calendar day. To remove the limits:
- Buy a Pro license — you'll receive a key like
PRO-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXby email. - In the BlockParam dialog, click the License button in the bottom bar (it shows your current tier).
- Paste the key & click Activate. Status flips to Pro, daily limits gone.
Multi-seat deployments share a single key file — see Licensing.
