Help
Questions, answered.
Where is my licence key?
In the email we sent after you paid, titled “Your SkyDeck licence key”. If you cannot find it, check your spam or promotions folder. Lost it? Reply to that email or write to support@skydecksimlabs.com and we will send it again.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is that normal?
Yes, for now. SkyDeck is new and its installer is not yet signed with a certificate, so Windows SmartScreen shows this box. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Only do this for the file you downloaded from this page.
Do I need to be online?
Only to activate. After that SkyDeck works offline and quietly re-checks your licence when it can.
How many computers can I use?
Up to 3 of your own. Install SkyDeck on each one and enter the same key.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet, it is planned. Today SkyDeck runs on Windows.
What if it does not work for me?
You can have your money back within 14 days. Email support@skydecksimlabs.com.
How do I remove SkyDeck?
Open Windows Settings, then Apps, then Installed apps. Find SkyDeck and choose Uninstall.
