How do I get the new app or platform?

I signed up for and used Scrivener in 2018. That was the year that I finished NANOWRIMO for the first time. Unfortunately, it was also the year that my house burned to the ground.

In the time between then and now, I haven’t done any writing. After living in a hotel for almost a year, I’ve had to move out of state, contend with Covid, etc.

I’m finallt ready to start over. How do I update my Scrivener account, and access the software? Is it now confined to an app?

Which platform(s), macOS, iOS / iPadOS, Windows?

If macOS or iOS, and you purchased it through Apple’s App Store, just re-downloading it from there should suffice. Assuming you’re still using the same Apple Account.

Scrivener for MacOS (App Store)
Scrivener for iOS / iPadOS (App Store)

In all other cases, download it from there:

Scrivener for macOS (L&L)
Scrivener for Windows (L&L)

Install and then enter your License key. Done.
