The subscription information for MindNode Plus synchronizes via iCloud. Therefore, if you subscribed and want to use MindNode on multiple devices associated with your Apple ID, you have to enable iCloud.

macOS
1. Open the System Settings app
2. Click on the Apple ID icon in the upper-left corner (the one with your name and image)

5. Scroll the list until you find MindNode and make sure the toggle is switched on

IV. Sign up for MindNode ID

MindNode ID is our new optional account system that enhances our MindNode Plus subscription. Previously, to share our subscription between your devices, you needed an iCloud account. Using MindNode ID, you can now access your subscription from devices that do not use iCloud (e.g., devices owned by a company or personal devices using different Apple IDs). Learn more here.
