ProPresenter allows you to run the fully functional program at any time. However, you will see a watermark appear at random intervals on your output screens if ProPresenter is not signed in to an account with an active ProPresenter subscription. This allows the creation and export of presentations, as well as testing of the program to be done without the need to physically register the program. Instead of prompting to register the program when you first launch it, there is an orange “Activate ProPresenter” icon in the upper right-hand corner of the program window which you can click to open the Account window. You can also go to ProPresenter > Settings > Account in the menu bar.

This will pull up the Accounts page of the ProPresenter Settings. Click on the Sign In button, which will open a web browser window where you will enter the email address and password associated with your Renewed Vision account.

After signing in with your Renewed Vision account, you will choose which subscription you want to activate a seat from, and select any Bibles you'd like to activate on this computer.

Once you have entered your information and clicked Continue, it will show up as it does below:

In this window, under the ProPresenter product, you see the name of your device, as seen by our servers. You'll see your Presenter Seats, which show how many seats you have left to use, and Cloud Editor Seats, which show how many Cloud seats you have left to use.

In the last field under the ProPresenter product, you can see the Current Seat State. You can set your current seat state as Presenter, Cloud Editor, or Local Editor.

Here's a closer look at Current Seat States:

Presenter: Present and edit with full access to your organization's Cloud workspaces. You will NOT see a watermark on your output and this counts against your Presenter seat count.

Presenter use case: A Presenter would be used on your main presenting device when you are presenting to an audience.

Cloud Editor: Edit and sync your organization's Cloud workspaces. Outputs show a watermark. This counts against your Cloud Editor seat count (2 Cloud Editor seats included with your ProPresenter subscription)

Cloud Editor use case: A cloud editor seat would be used when a device needs to prepare presentations or make changes to a presenting device remotely.

Local Editor: Edit on this computer only. Outputs show a watermark, and workspaces don't sync to Cloud. Choose Cloud Editor to work in Cloud workspaces. This does not count against Presenter seat count or Cloud Editor seat count

Local Editor use case: A Local Editor would be used when you need to practice using ProPresenter or prepare presentations or content without utilizing Cloud. You can still prepare content from this device and export/import into ProPresenter as done in previous ProPresenter versions.

Note: If you have a single seat, you can register multiple computers, but you would only be able to have one seat set as "Presenter"

If you would like to have another computer set as “Presenter”, you would change the current seat state to “Local Editor” as shown above, and then change the other computer seat state to “Presenter”. Do note, if you change a seat to Local Editor, any installed Bibles will still be installed on the inactive computer. If you wish to move those Bibles to a new computer, you will need to remove them via the Bible tab first or in your account dashboard at accounts.renewedvision.com.
