The Unlimited Renames Subscription

Better Rename is free to download from the Mac App Store, so you can try every action and preview the results on your own files, see the Quick Start. Renaming without limits requires the Unlimited Renames subscription, an in-app purchase that is available for 1, 3 or 12 months.

Without an active subscription, Better Rename does not rename any files: the preview, the presets and all the actions work as usual, so you can set everything up and see the new names, but Perform Renames only changes the files once you subscribe.

Subscribing

1. Choose Better Rename › Update Subscription…
2. Pick the 1, 3 or 12 month option and confirm the purchase with your Apple ID

The subscription is tied to your Apple ID, not to the Mac, so it covers every Mac you are signed in to with the same account.

Restoring a purchase

If Better Rename does not recognise your subscription, for instance on a new Mac or after reinstalling, choose Better Rename › Restore Purchases…. Make sure you are signed in to the App Store with the Apple ID you bought the subscription with.

Managing or cancelling

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by Better Rename. Open the App Store application, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, choose Account Settings and then Manage next to Subscriptions. A cancelled subscription stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Web store edition

The same program is also sold outside the App Store as A Better Finder Rename, with a one-time license instead of a subscription. The two are not interchangeable: a Better Rename subscription does not unlock A Better Finder Rename and a web store unlock code does not unlock Better Rename.
