Direct Build

Download the Direct build when you need broader access for advanced cleanup workflows.

The App Store remains the standard public path for most users. The Direct build is an alternative install path for advanced workflows that can require broader macOS access. It is not a separate web checkout today.

Choose the right path

The two distribution paths are intentionally not presented as equal storefronts. One is the main public commerce path; the other is an advanced-access build.

App Store

  • Standard install path for most users.
  • Current public pricing and purchase flow live here.
  • Best default choice if you do not specifically need broader cleanup access.

Direct build

  • Alternative install path for advanced cleanup and uninstall workflows.
  • Download is handled by the site, but paid unlock does not happen on the site.
  • If you already bought StorageRadar on the App Store, generate a Direct license key in the App Store build and activate it in Direct at no extra cost.

How Direct unlock works today

Unlock starts from the Mac App Store build on the same Mac. The site only distributes the DMG and explains the current flow.

1

Buy StorageRadar on the App Store if you do not already own it

Today, the App Store remains the primary public commerce path. The Direct build is not a separate web checkout yet.

2

Open the Mac App Store build and get a Direct license key

In the App Store version, choose Settings > Purchases > Get Direct License Key. StorageRadar uses your App Store purchase on this Mac to request a Direct license from the backend and copies the key to your clipboard.

3

Install the Direct build and activate the copied key

Open the Direct build on this Mac, choose Paste Key -> Activate License Key, and use the key generated by the App Store build.

4

Use the Direct build with broader access

After activation succeeds, the Direct build unlocks on this Mac for advanced cleanup workflows that need broader macOS access.

What the Direct build does not do today

  • It does not ask you to sign in on the website.
  • It does not verify your Apple purchase from the browser.
  • It does not provide a separate direct web checkout today.
  • It does not replace the App Store as the primary public commerce path yet.

Download and next steps

If you already bought StorageRadar on the App Store, use the App Store build first: Settings > Purchases > Get Direct License Key. Then open the Direct build on this Mac and use Paste Key -> Activate License Key.
