Commercial Licensing FAQ
Is there really no monthly subscription fee?
None. Zero. When you purchase a license from Wintershogun Studio, you receive a perpetual license key. There are no recurring monthly debits, no cloud meters, and no forced renewals.
What happens if our store internet cuts out?
Nothing changes. Lyndesk is built offline-first from the ground up. All invoices, inventory lookups, customer credit accounts, and receipt printing function 100% locally on your machine without requiring any internet connection.
Can Wintershogun Studio view our financial figures or customer data?
Never. Lyndesk has zero telemetry and zero cloud sync servers. Your data resides exclusively in the local SQLite database on your device.
Can I transfer my license to a new PC if I upgrade hardware?
Yes. Simply backup your local database file (lyndesk.db) to an external drive, install Lyndesk on your new machine, and enter your license key. We do not charge relocation fees.
Do you offer multi-currency support for international businesses?
Yes. Lyndesk includes configurable international currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY, AED, etc.) and custom currency codes, plus customizable tax headers (VAT, GST, Sales Tax).
What hardware do I need to run Lyndesk?
Lyndesk runs efficiently on standard Windows 10/11 PCs (Intel Celeron / Core i3 with 4GB RAM), Linux machines, or standard Android devices. It works with standard USB barcode scanners, ESC/POS thermal printers, and RJ11 cash drawers.
