Licence
One application, and one price.
Watch Vault Archive archives ten watches without a licence, permanently, with every feature working. A licence is $149, once, and removes the limit — it adds nothing else.
Bought once. Yours to keep.
A one-time personal licence, perpetual for the generation of Watch Vault Archive you buy and including every update released within it. It is not tied to a version number: minor and patch releases are frequent and never affect your access.
No subscription. No cloud. Nothing that expires, nothing to renew, and nothing that stops working if this company does — because the software does not depend on anything we run. Buying it uses the Apple or Microsoft account already on your machine; the application itself has no account, and never asks you to make one.
Use inside a dealership, auction house or any other business requires a separate commercial licence. legal@watchvaultarchive.com.
Watch Vault Archive
Coming Winter 2027
One payment, for any number of watches, through the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store. Apple and Microsoft handle the sale, the tax in your jurisdiction, and your record of owning it.
Watch Vault Archive arrives in Winter 2027 on the Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store. Nothing here will take your money before then.
Before you buy
The software is complete before you pay for it.
There is one Watch Vault Archive. Not a limited edition and a full edition — one application, with every feature working from first launch. What a licence changes is a number, and nothing else.
Ten watches, archived permanently.
Ten watches, with the whole application behind them: the encryption and the recovery key, provenance, service history, valuations, your own written reflections, attached invoices and appraisals, watch folios, collection folios and legacy documents. Nothing is watermarked, nothing is greyed out, and nothing stops working on a date. If ten watches is your collection, this is the finished product.
The eleventh needs a licence. The application says so when you reach ten, rather than letting you find out later — and the ten you have are untouched by that, then and afterwards.
One number. Nothing else.
A licence removes the limit on how many watches the archive holds. It does not unlock a feature, improve a document or lift a watermark, because there is no second version of the software for it to unlock. Everything a licensed archive can do, an unlicensed one already does — for ten.
A trial makes you a tenant of your own record.
A time-limited trial works by taking the record back, which is a strange thing to do to a document meant to be kept for decades. Ten watches is not a countdown. It is a small collection, held permanently. Your collection cannot be reached from here — the part of the application holding it cannot open a connection at all — so there is nothing of ours that could switch it off later.
An heir is not a customer.
Whatever a licence covers, it will never cover opening a collection. Restoring an encrypted backup — on a different computer, years from now, by someone who bought nothing — is not something we will ever charge for. The limit applies to adding watches, never to reading what is already recorded. Somebody settling an estate should not meet a payment screen while they are doing it.
Apple and Microsoft are the seller of record for your purchase and handle sales tax and VAT in your jurisdiction. Their receipt is your proof of purchase.
Buying is the one moment anything about you touches a third party, and it is the store rather than us. Apple or Microsoft collects what it needs to complete the sale and comply with tax law, under its own privacy policy. Aveneg Technologies, LLC receives sales reporting from the store and does not receive or store your payment details.
Your collection stays entirely separate from your transaction. The store handles payment and keeps the record that you own the application; what you write into the archive is no part of that. It is not uploaded, not synced, and not visible to us, to Apple or to Microsoft — it never leaves your computer at all. See the privacy policy.
A personal licence does not cover use inside a dealership, auction house or other business, or bundling with a product or service. Commercial and multi-seat licensing is a separate conversation — legal@watchvaultarchive.com.
What a licence is — and what it is not
Watch Vault Archive is proprietary software, licensed rather than sold. A personal licence permits you to install and use the application on computers you own or control, for your own collection. It does not transfer ownership of the software, and it does not grant any right to redistribute, resell or sublicense it. Third-party open-source components used within the application are credited at open-source attributions.
By purchasing you agree to the Terms of Service.
