Common questions, troubleshooting, and how to reach us.
Activation & devices
The app says "device limit reached" on first launch. What now?
Your account is limited to 2 devices. If you've already activated 2 machines and want to install on a third, you have two options:
1. Sign in to your account and remove a device you no longer use at prismjournal.net/devices. Removing a device immediately frees its slot.
2. Buy an extra device slot for $6.99 (one-time, never expires). The slot is added to your account immediately after checkout, and the next launch on the new machine will succeed.
I reformatted my computer. How do I reactivate?
A reinstall on the same physical machine counts as a new device, because the local device ID is gone. Sign in at prismjournal.net/devices and remove the old entry (it will say "last seen X days ago"). Then re-launch the app — it'll register fresh.
Devices not seen in 60+ days are eligible for automatic cleanup, so old reinstalls are usually self-healing.
Does the app phone home? Will it stop working offline?
No. Prism Journal makes one network call total: when you first launch a new install and sign in. Every launch after that is fully offline. Your trades, screenshots, and account data live on your machine — they never leave it.
If you're disconnected from the internet on first launch, simply connect briefly to activate, then you can run forever offline.
Account & purchases
I bought the app but never got the password setup email.
Check your spam folder first. If it's not there, go to the sign-in page, enter your email, and click "Forgot password?" — that resends the link.
Still missing? Email [email protected] with your Stripe receipt and we'll fix it manually.
How do I get a refund?
Email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase and we'll refund the full amount, no questions asked. We process refunds within 1-2 business days.
Can I transfer my license to a different email?
Yes. Email [email protected] from the original purchase email and tell us the new email — we'll move the account over. Your purchase history and device limit increases come with you.
Still stuck?
Email us directly. We read everything.
