Upgrades And The Mac App Store

1/29/2021Posted inInfoClick, Nisus Writer Express, Nisus Writer ProNo Comments

We have been receiving quite a bit of email on this subject lately, so I thought I would explain how to qualify for upgrade pricing if you have purchased from the Mac App Store. 

The Mac App Store does not allow developers to offer upgrade pricing. That leaves customers with two choices:

  • Purchase Nisus Writer at full price on the Mac App Store. 
  • Purchase directly through our store.

If you would like to purchase through us to receive the upgrade discount, you can follow the excellent instructions Martin provided in our FAQ (which answers many, many Nisus app related questions). Alternatively, you can email your Mac App Store receipt as proof of purchase.

Please know that while we make more money from direct purchases, feel free to buy from wherever you like. All of our customers are treated and appreciated in the same way. 

Call For Localizers

Nisus Writer Pro 3.1 (and Nisus Writer Express 4.1) were just released and added several non-English localizations. We are interested in adding additional translations, so more people can enjoy using Nisus Writer in their native language.

If you might be interested in helping out, please let us know. You can contact us any way you like, including an email to the following address:

This is purely volunteer work. We aren’t able to pay for the translation, sorry.

Big Sur, Apple Silicon, and Nisus

8/21/2020Posted inInfoClick, Nisus Thesaurus, Nisus Writer Express, Nisus Writer ProNo Comments

We have received a fair amount of email asking us if our applications will be ready for the new Apple Silicon based Macs. The answer to this is that we will be ready when the first of the new machines are released near the end of 2020. Personally I am excited to see what the future will bring with these new Macs. 

We also receive quite a bit of email regarding macOS Big Sur and compatibility with Nisus apps. We have done some testing and so far it seems, apart from cosmetic issues, our apps are compatible with Big Sur, pending the final release of the new macOS. 

For the latest news on both of these issues, please keep your eyes on this blog and, if you haven’t already, subscribe to our newsletter.

Nisus License Lookup Tool

There are times, for whatever reason, that you need to find the license for your Nisus app. For example, you would like to upgrade to the latest version of Nisus Writer Express or Nisus Writer Pro. Perhaps you’re moving to a new computer and you need to install a fresh copy of InfoClick. How do you find your license?

Our Nisus License Lookup Tool, located on our main support page, will allow you to find your license and have it emailed to you. You just need the email address you used when you purchased your Nisus application and you will receive an email containing your license.

Tip: How To Use Tabbed Windows in Nisus Writer

11/4/2016Posted inTipsNo Comments

If you’re like me you have more than one document open at a time. Controlling that gets messy, and I’ve often wished that I could have a tabbed interface like my browser of choice. Thankfully you can. That’s because macOS Sierra introduced a tabbed interface that almost any application can use.

Tabs work almost exactly like they do in Safari. If you have several windows open you can use the Merge All Windows command under the Window menu, where Tab-specific menu items reside. Doing so will merge all open documents into a single window with multiple tabs. Command-T opens a new tab, as does clicking the “+” button. Dragging a tab rearranges the tabs, and dragging the tab off the tab bar moves the document into its own window.

We have verified this new Sierra specific feature works in both Nisus Writer Express and Pro. In fact, this should work on many apps, as this feature is system wide.

So if you want to reduce open window clutter, this new feature is for you.
