💺 Active Seats Management

An active seat allows one computer to actively run searches at a time. Your license is like your account, with a specific number of seats underneath it. You don’t need separate licenses – just additional seats under your existing license 

• The cost is the same as 1 license.
• Elite Monthly ($24.99): Additional seats at Elite rate 
• Enterprise Monthly ($49.99): Additional seats at Enterprise rate 
• Annual Plans: Additional seats available at same rate as monthly equivalents 
• Available for: Enterprise and Elite subscriptions only 

1. Get your license key:

• Open uBuyFirst 
• Go to Help → Subscription Info 
• Copy your license key 

1. Visit the modification page:

• Go to Add A Seat 
• Enter your license key 
• Select number of seats needed 
• Complete the upgrade checkout process.
   

When you try to start searching on a second computer while another PC is actively running, you’ll see a popup showing: 

• Which computers are currently actively searching (by PC name) 
• Option to disconnect another machine 
• Link to purchase additional seats

  Example scenario: Left home PC running, now at office

  No problem! When you start uBuyFirst at your office: 

1. You’ll get a popup showing all PCs actively searching by PC name 
2. Select which PC to disconnect (e.g., your home computer) 
3. Start searching on your work PC 
4. The selected PC will stop searching (results remain saved)

Yes! You can use uBuyFirst on unlimited devices – just not simultaneously searching. The application can be running on multiple PCs, but only the allowed number can be actively searching at the same time. 

Immediately! Once you complete the upgrade at https://ubuyfirst.com/modify-subscription, you can start using additional PCs right away without restarting the application.  

How does proration work?

Upgrading Example: 

• You have an Enterprise subscription starting on the 1st 
• On the 15th (halfway through), you add a second seat 
• You’ll receive a prorated refund for the remaining 15 days 
• You’ll be charged the new rate (base + additional seat) 
• Your billing cycle resets to the 15th 

Downgrading: Same process – you’ll be refunded the prorated difference and charged the new lower rate.

If you currently have multiple separate licenses: 

• You can keep them as-is – no action needed 
• Future additions can be consolidated under one license as seats 
• This simplifies management and billing 

Grace period details 

• New users (after Sept 20, 2025): Immediate enforcement 
• Existing users: Grace period until October 15th, 2025 
• Action needed: Upgrade seats before October 15th if needed
