# Premium

The Premium upgrade for Automate can be purchased through the Buy premium menu, also present as an option in settings. There’s no separate “pro” download, Premium is unlocked by a single in-app purchase which is owned by the Google account used during purchase. All devices registered with the purchasing account will have the Premium upgrade.

### Solution for premium purchase and verification issues

- Force close Automate in system Apps settings or rebooting the device may suffice.
- The device has to be registered with a Google account.
- In-app purchases, and the verification thereof, is handled by the Google Play store app, make sure it’s installed and up to date.
- Ensure the device has its current date and time correctly set.
- The Google Play store has poor support for multiple Google accounts on the same device, try changing active account in the Google Play store app. Alternatively, make a backup, uninstall the app, then reinstall it from the Google Play store web page while logged in with the correct account.
- The Google Play store may have cached a corrupt or incorrect version of the licensing data, try Clear data for the Google Play store app in system Apps settings.
- Xposed is a major cause of all kinds of issues, disable it.
- Ensure you’re using a legitimate copy of Automate downloaded from the Google Play store.
- Uninstall any kind of “cracking” apps as they will interfere with the purchase and verification process.
