Lifetime access: how paying for Cashboard Desktop works

Lifetime access is how you buy Cashboard Desktop: one payment in crypto, no subscription, and one purchase covers both the Windows and the macOS installer. The web app at cashboard.live stays free and needs no purchase. What the desktop app adds is covered in Cashboard Desktop.

Checkout offers four routes. Each is one network and one asset, and nothing else is accepted. The same token on a different network does not count, so USDC on Ethereum or on Solana will not work, and neither will USDT or ETH on Ethereum mainnet.

For ETH and SOL, Cashboard prices the request from a live quote at the moment you create it. The amount then stays fixed for that request, so a later price move does not change what you owe. The two token routes name their contract in the field Verified token contract or mint. Compare it with the contracts below before you send. ETH and SOL are native assets and have no contract.

• Pay from a wallet you control, and check which account in it is selected. The transfer must come from the address you enter.
• Pay from a wallet whose sending address you know in advance. Checkout accepts a transfer only from the address you entered, so a withdrawal from an exchange works only if you can name the address it will send from.
• Keep enough of the network's fee currency in the wallet, because the fee is paid on top of the transfer. With ETH or SOL, send the amount shown and do not use a send-max option: a transfer that is lower or higher than the figure is rejected.
• Have somewhere safe for the recovery code, such as a password manager. Checkout shows the payment details only after you confirm you saved it.
• Read Terms, Privacy and the Refund Policy first. You accept all three in checkout.
• Take the recipient, the amount and the token contract from your own request in checkout. Never take them from a message or a screenshot, and use the contracts on this page only to compare.
• Pay each request once. A request is confirmed by one transaction only, and a second transfer for the same request is not accepted.

1. 1

   Open checkout

   Go to the access section of cashboard.live. The chip above the heading should read Lifetime access · available. If it says sales paused or coming soon, read When something goes wrong first.

2. 2

   Choose how to pay

   Under Choose how to pay, pick one tile: USDC on Base, ETH on Base, USDG on Robinhood Chain or SOL on Solana. One tile is already selected when the page loads, so check that it is the one you want before you go on.

3. 3

   Enter the paying wallet

   Paste the public address of the wallet that will send the payment into Paying wallet address. Use a 0x address for the Base and Robinhood Chain routes and a Solana address for SOL. The address binds the request to your transfer. Checkout needs no wallet connection, no signature and no seed phrase, and you send nothing yet.

4. 4

   Accept the policies

   Tick I agree to the Terms, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. Under it checkout names the seller, the support address and the terms version. Create payment request stays disabled until a route, a valid address and the checkbox are all set.

5. 5

   Create the request

   Press Create payment request. The server prices the request and gives it a unique exact amount. Creating a request moves no money, and a request you never pay runs out when its timer ends.

6. 6

   Save the recovery code

   Checkout shows Save this private recovery code first. Use the copy button next to the code to store it somewhere safe, then press I saved this recovery code. The payment details stay hidden until you do. See The recovery code.

7. 7

   Send the exact payment

   The request lists Network and asset with the amount in whole units, Recipient, Required sender, Exact atomic amount and, for USDC and USDG, Verified token contract or mint, each with a copy button, plus a countdown. Send exactly that amount, on that network, to that recipient, from the Required sender wallet, before the countdown ends. Use the copy buttons rather than retyping.

8. 8

   Paste the transaction hash

   When your wallet shows the transaction, copy its hash into Paste the transaction hash (on Solana the field reads Paste the transaction signature) and press Verify payment. An EVM hash is 0x followed by 64 hex characters. On Solana, checkout accepts a signature of 64 to 96 base58 characters.

9. 9

   Wait for confirmation

   The status line moves from Transaction found. Waiting for finality. to Payment confirmed. Your lifetime access is active. and the card changes to Lifetime access is active. On Base and Robinhood Chain the first line can end with a count such as 3 confirmations remaining.; 0 confirmations remaining. means the block count is met and checkout is waiting for the network's finalized mark. On Solana checkout asks only for finalized data, so before finality you usually see The transaction is not finalized or indexed yet. Cashboard will keep checking. instead. See Timer, grace and finality for how long to allow.

    Download

    Press Download for Windows or macOS. See Download and install.

Checkout has no account and no wallet connection, so it recognises your payment by the exact amount and the wallet it came from, together with the network, the asset and the recipient. All of these are fixed when you create the request. The server then reads the chain itself and compares what it finds with your request.

The amount

A stablecoin request is 199 plus a random suffix of 1 to 9999 of the token's smallest unit, so it lands between 199.000001 and 199.009999. ETH and SOL requests add the same kind of suffix to the quoted amount. While a request is open and for a few minutes after its timer ends, no second request from the same wallet on the same route gets the same figure, so one transfer can match only one request. Exact atomic amount shows the figure in the smallest unit, so 199.000001 USDC appears as 199000001, while the Network and asset line shows it in whole units. Send the figure shown to the last digit. A lower amount is rejected and so is a higher one, which means overpaying is not a safety margin.

The sender

The transfer must come from the wallet in Required sender, the one whose address you entered. For USDC and USDG, checkout reads the token's own transfer records in your transaction and adds up those that go from your wallet to the recipient, so what counts is the address the tokens left. For ETH it reads the transaction itself: the address that submitted it must be the one you entered, and it must go straight to the recipient. For SOL it counts plain transfers made directly to the recipient. A payment sent through a contract, a swap or another program is not counted for ETH or SOL.

What a rejection looks like

On Base and Robinhood Chain, amount and sender are checked as soon as the transaction is found, so a rejection can appear before the transfer is final. On Solana a transaction is not seen until it is final. A rejection applies to that transaction.

A transfer on the wrong network behaves differently. Checkout looks for your hash only on the network of your request, so a transaction sent on another chain is not found and gets no rejection reason. Checkout keeps saying The transaction is not finalized or indexed yet. If that message does not clear, look the hash up on a block explorer for the network you chose before you decide that checkout is slow.

Each request has a countdown. Its default length is 15 minutes for USDC and USDG and 5 minutes for ETH and SOL, and the timer on your request is the one to follow.

• Cashboard compares the time of the block that holds your transfer with the deadline, not the moment you press Verify payment. A transfer included up to 2 minutes after the timer ended is still accepted. A transfer older than the request is rejected.
• If the timer has ended and you have not paid, do not send. Press the refresh icon next to Verify payment, titled Create a new payment request, and start over with the new amount. That button makes your browser forget the current request, so do not press it after you have sent a payment for it unless you saved its recovery code.
• If you sent in time and the timer has since ended, paste the hash anyway. The page reads Expired, and after a check the status line can read This payment request has expired. while your transfer is still being found or is waiting for finality. A transfer that landed in time can still be verified.
• A request that never gets a verified payment is kept for a limited period, 90 days by default. Verify a valid payment soon rather than leaving it.

Finality

Access is issued only when Cashboard's own server sees the payment as final, not when your wallet shows it as sent.

On Base and Robinhood Chain both conditions must hold, so a payment can have its 12 blocks and still wait for the finalized mark. Cashboard does not state how long finality takes, because it depends on the network, so allow time and do not send a second payment while you wait. After you paste a valid hash, the page re-checks by itself up to 6 times, starting about 8 seconds later and then about 16, 32 and 60 seconds apart, which covers roughly the first four minutes while the page stays open. After that, or after a rejection, it stops checking by itself and you press Verify payment to check again.

The recovery code is the only thing that ties you to your purchase. Checkout has no account, no email and no lookup by wallet, so the code is how you verify a payment on another device, restore your access and download again.

Restore a purchase

1. 1

   Open the access section

   Go to the access section of cashboard.live in any browser. In the browser you paid from, the section usually reopens your request or the Lifetime access is active card by itself, because the browser keeps the request. Then you can skip the next steps.

2. 2

   Open the restore box

   Expand Already paid? Restore lifetime access. It is open by default when new sales are paused. The box shows only while no request is open on the page. If the page already shows a request you do not need, press the refresh icon (Create a new payment request) first, after you saved that request's recovery code.

3. 3

   Paste the code

   Paste the whole code into the field that shows CB1.…. The button stays disabled until the text has the right shape.

4. 4

   Press Restore purchase

   A confirmed purchase shows Lifetime access restored. and the download panels. A request that is still waiting shows Payment request restored., and you can paste the hash and verify.

If you lose the code

If the same browser still holds the request, reload the access section: checkout restores the request and shows the code again. Copy it at once. If you cleared site data or changed device without saving the code, checkout cannot recreate it, because Cashboard keeps only the hash. Write to contact@cashboard.live with the network and the transaction hash. These docs cannot say what support can do in that case.

Once the payment is confirmed, the card reads Lifetime access is active and offers one panel per system. Windows says Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, .exe installer and macOS says macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple Silicon and Intel, .dmg, each with its Version. A This device badge marks the system your browser reports, which is a guess. The purchase covers both, so you can download either or both.

Download creates a private link for that system. The link works once and lasts 5 minutes. If it has expired or been used, the browser tab shows a short error that reads Download link is invalid or expired or Download link was already used. Generate a new link with your recovery code. Go back to the card and press Download again, or restore your purchase first.

• Windows: the installer is a step-by-step wizard that installs for your user account and lets you change the folder. SmartScreen may block an unsigned installer. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• macOS: the app is not notarized, so macOS asks you to approve it once. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and choose Open Anyway.

Get the installer only from the access section of cashboard.live. Checkout collects no email address, so it cannot send you a payment request, a recovery code or an installer by email. Treat a message that offers one as suspicious.

The installed app does not update itself and does not tell you when a newer version exists. The download icon in the top bar (named Desktop updates for screen readers) opens Cashboard updates, which shows Installed version with your number. In a purchased build the panel says Get the newest installer through your secure lifetime-access download page. and offers Open secure download page, which opens cashboard.live in your browser.

To update, open the access section. In the browser you paid from it usually shows the Lifetime access is active card by itself, and anywhere else you restore your purchase with the recovery code. Press Download for your system and run the new installer. The access section shows the newest version, 0.4.2 as of October 2026. Your boards live in the app's local database, and uninstalling does not delete that data. Export the boards you care about before you install anyway: press Ctrl K on Windows or Cmd K on macOS and choose Export this board. The desktop guide has the same steps from the app's side.

Find the message you see, then follow the matching step. For every row, do not send a second payment until you understand what happened to the first.

A valid payment that does not activate access

This is the case where the amount, the sending wallet, the network and the timing were all correct, the transaction shows as final on a block explorer, and checkout still has not confirmed it.

1. Keep the recovery code and the transaction id, and do not pay again.
2. Press Verify payment once more after a few minutes, because a provider outage can clear by itself.
3. Write to contact@cashboard.live with the network and the transaction id. Keep the recovery code private and never post it in public.

The status page lists Lifetime access payments, Protected Windows downloads and Protected macOS downloads. Configured there does not mean checkout is open; the chip in the access section does.

Checkout asks you to accept three documents before it creates a request: Terms, Privacy and the Refund Policy. The terms version you accept is stored with your request. Checkout prints the seller before you pay, in the form Sold by CashBoard Group in EU. Support: contact@cashboard.live. Terms version 2026-09-20. Read the line on your own page, because that is the one that applies to your purchase.

This page describes how checkout works. It does not set policy, and it makes no promise about refunds, refund windows or response times. The Refund Policy is the document that applies. For what the rest of the app sends and stores, see Privacy and data.
