Account and Plus
The server's version depends on the AISKSoft account it is linked to. Plus is bought once on the account and then applies to the AIPPics app and the server alike — there is nothing separate to buy for the server.

- Demo — the server is not linked to an account.
- Free — linked to a free AISKSoft account.
- Plus — the account has an active lifetime purchase or subscription.
When you go over a limit the gallery shows what the limit is, with an Upgrade to Plus link.
Link the server to your account
- Open the admin page → Account & Plus ›.
- Under AISKSoft account enter your account's e-mail and password and press Link. (They are used only in your browser to ask the account service for a link; the server receives just the link, never the password.) The account's e-mail must be confirmed first.
- The page shows the plan: the current version, for Plus whether it is lifetime or monthly, the date it is paid until, and how much of each limit you use. Unlink removes the link.
The link also gives the recovery PIN an e-mail route that needs no SMTP settings of its own.
One server per account. An account's Plus covers one linked server (the first one linked). A second server linked to the same account stays on Free until the first is unlinked.
Upgrade to Plus
Press Upgrade to Plus (it opens the purchase page on aisksoft.com) and pay by PayPal, once or monthly; on the iPhone you can buy it in the AIPPics app instead. Pay on the same account the server is linked to, then press Refresh status on the Account & Plus screen — Plus turns on right away. If you buy before linking, link afterwards and press Refresh status.
AIPPics Plus bought on the account also lifts the limits in the phone app; see Settings, Demo / Free / Plus in the app's guide.
When the account is not reachable
The server remembers the last answer from the account service, so a short outage of the internet or of the service does not switch Plus off. Refresh status says if the service cannot be reached and keeps the previous status.
