After checkout

After a successful purchase, the buyer receives a `.gapmaplic` licence file by email. Save the file somewhere easy to find, such as Downloads.

Activate

Open GapMap Research Studio and use the activation screen to select the `.gapmaplic` file. The app should switch from trial mode to paid licence mode after the file is accepted.

Verify unlocks

Confirm that the record limit is removed and that PDF, DOCX, and XLSX export options are available. If activation fails, email support@gapmapresearch.com with the purchase email and a screenshot of the activation error.

Keep the file private

The licence file is for the buyer's own licensed workflow. Do not publish it, commit it to a repository, or send it to another user.
