It lives in the menu bar, not the Dock

它在菜单栏,不在 Dock

PWE Loan Bar Fri 14:32
There is no Dock icon after launching — that is by design, not a failed install
软件打开后 Dock 里不会出现图标 —— 这是设计如此,不是没装上

激活

Fastest: click the activation link in your licence email — the app opens and activates itself.

By file: press ⌘, to open Settings, go to the License tab, and drag the .pwelicense attachment onto the box.

By paste: copy everything between the two dashed lines in your email, paste it into that same box, and click Activate.

The trial strip at the top of the window disappearing is how you know it worked.

最快:点击授权邮件里的激活链接,软件会自动打开并完成激活。

拖入:⌘, 打开设置,切到 License 标签,把邮件附件里的 .pwelicense 文件直接拖进输入框。

Settings → Identity —— 姓名、公司、电话、邮箱、网址、信贷牌照号 (ACL 或 Cr. Rep. 编号)。这些会印在每一张导出卡片的标题下方,留空的项目自动省略。

Settings → Appearance — pick a theme, and load your logo (PNG, at least 200 px on the long edge; a transparent background works best).

What every label means

英文界面对照表

The interface is in English on purpose: it keeps every term identical to what goes into a lender submission, so nothing is lost in translation between your calculation and your file note.

软件界面保持英文,是为了与您提交给银行和贷款机构的材料用词一致 —— exported card 上的每一个词,客户和信贷审批看到的都是同一套术语,不会因翻译产生歧义。

If something looks wrong

常见问题

“I opened it and nothing happened”

「打开了但什么都没发生」

It is running — look at the menu bar, not the Dock.

它已经在运行了 —— 请看屏幕顶部的菜单栏,不是 Dock。

“This licence key is not valid”

「提示授权码无效」

Usually a partial copy. Select from -----BEGIN through -----END----- inclusive and paste again.

通常是没复制全。请从 -----BEGIN 一直选到 -----END-----(含两行虚线)重新粘贴。

“My exports have a watermark”

「导出的图片上有斜纹水印」

The app is not activated yet — check Settings → License.

说明还没激活,请到 Settings → License 检查。

“I have a new Mac”

「换了新电脑」

Same key, nothing to deactivate first. Anything else: reply to your licence email.

用同一个授权码即可,不需要先解绑。其他问题请直接回复授权邮件。

Using Windows?

用 Windows 电脑?

There is a Windows build — the same four calculators, the same branded exports, the same seven-day trial. It is one file: nothing to install, and no separate .NET download.

Windows 版本已经上线 —— 同样的四个计算页、同样的品牌导出卡片、同样的 7 天试用。 单个文件,无需安装,也不需要另外下载 .NET 运行库。

Version 1.1.1 · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit · 24 MB. It is not signed by Microsoft yet, so Windows shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it — choose More info, then Run anyway. Once only.

版本 1.1.1 · Windows 10 / 11 64 位 · 24 MB。 目前尚未申请 Microsoft 签名,首次运行时 Windows 会弹出蓝色的“Windows 已保护你的电脑”提示 —— 请点击更多信息,再点击仍要运行。只需要做这一次。
