New releases display the full license during interactive Windows installation and in the macOS DMG. ZIP, DEB and silent installation require acceptance on first launch. Before using each new or updated build, the license must be expressly accepted in the application. Declining exits the app. Consent is stored locally, with no activation or reporting to a server. Previously published older packages remain unchanged.

It is not part of the license and does not require separate acceptance. Guidance is available in Czech, German and English and is displayed before installer downloads and before the license in new builds.
