GPG Mail: Bought GPG mail cannot enter license code

Hi,

I just bought GPG mail. Because of GPG Mails modal window (that told me to buy or switch to trail) where I could enter the license key I could not copy the license key from your email. So I chose trail, copied the license key but now I’m unable to find a place to input it.

So I’m currently in trail mode I’ve bought a valid license but I can’t find a place to enter the key. How can I activate the full version.

Expected
I found two places that state the trail status (GPGMail prefs in mail and system prefs GPGMail settings -> about). I expected that next it would be a possibility to buy or enter a license code.

    Same problem for me. Been searching for a possibility to enter the licence code. :-)

    The activation will come up on your next start of Mail. Sorry for that confusing UI, it will be much improved in a future update. So for now it's best to copy the code, re-start macOS Mail, enter the code. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

    A littlebit more confusing is the fact, that the Activation window is hided behind the "Activity"-Window, if you have it active... and you cannot put in front.
