You can thoroughly test-drive ISESteroids for 10 (ten) days without restrictions. License revenues fund this project, so if you enjoy ISESteroids, please purchase a license - this is a one-time investment for a lifetime license with no hidden cost. Should you need a trial extension, please contact Support.

Purchasing a License

There are two license types:

Name Audience Price Online Store
PowerShell Specialist non-commercial use, non-profit organizations $39 Get Private License
Enterprise commercial use $190 Get Commercial License

Both license types include all ISESteroids features. The only difference is a significantly discounted price for the non-commercial PowerShell Specialist license. Please get the appropriate license.

There are no hidden or additional costs: the license price contains all taxes, there are neither maintenance fees nor subscriptions or recurring billing.

“Per-User” Licensing

  • Specify the number of licensed users by changing the “quantity” in the shopping cart.
  • Each purchase ships 1 (one) license file for the number of purchased users (“quantity”)
  • Volume discounts apply per purchase.
  • To increase the number of licensed users for an existing license, purchase a new license file. Send us both the old and new license file if you want us to combine both files into one.

License Terms

Below applies to both license types:

  • Lifetime license: No hidden cost, no maintenance fees.
  • License is per user
  • Can be used on up to 3 machines and/or 3 identities simultaneously
  • License can be removed from a system any time, and re-used on another machine
  • License will automatically free its slot after 15 days of inactivity, so even if you forget to remove a license from a system that gets discarded, you’ll never invalidate your license
  • Licensing works in offline environments

Applying a License File

  1. Open the license folder:
    explorer $env:appdata\ISESteroids\License
    
  2. Place a copy of your license into this folder.
  3. ISESteroids picks up the license file the next time you run it, and shows the license status in its status bar.

When you apply a license for the first time, launching ISESteroids may be delayed by up to 30 seconds while your license is registered.

  1. To verify your license status, from within ISESteroids run this command:
    Show-SteroidsLicense
    

    This command opens a license dialog. Select your license in the dropdown list. You can also use this dialog to permanently remove the license from your computer.

Always make sure you place a copy of your license file into the license folder. Keep your original license file in a safe place. Once ISESteroids picks up a license file, the file content will be altered and locked to the particular machine to protect you from license theft. A “used” license file cannot be used on another computer anymore.
