Applying a Supporter Certificate or Serial Key using the Modern SandMan UI

Sandboxie Plus offers a bunch of Premium Features which require a Supporter Certificate to unlock, as well as a few Advanced Features which require a special Advanced Certificate. Further more to use Sandboxie Plus in a commercial setting an appropriate Business use Certificate is mandatory.

Certificates can be obtained as Plain Text, or through the use of a Serial Key. Advanced Certificates are created by upgrading a regular certificate with a Feature Upgrade Key, this process downloads a new Plain Text certificate with the Advanced features enabled.

If you have obtained a Standard Certificate and a Advanced Features Serial Key, you must first apply the Standard Certificate and then in a second step apply the upgrade key, once the Advanced Certificate has been set up you can save it for later use.
