Before you choose
No. PXM Free needs no account, license key, or credit card.
A Pro license activates on up to two computers you use personally. Computers are managed from your account.
On Mac, your sites and every Free tool keep running. Managed Pro services stop gracefully, and your database files and project settings remain on disk. Renew to manage services again.
Free has no time limit. When you want managed services, Mail, Xdebug, Tinker, or the MCP server, enter a Pro key in the app and the extra tools switch on. Same app, same projects.
