Why don't I have Live Layers?

Live Layers is a Scriptation Team and Enterprise feature — it isn't included with the free tier or Industry Pro. If you don't see Live Layers in your Layers panel, your device most likely isn't activated under a Team or Enterprise license.

Why Live Layers is Team / Enterprise only

The technology that makes Live Layers sync instantly between devices requires every member of a group to be activated under the same license key. On Team and Enterprise, everyone logs in with a shared license code — that closed ecosystem is what makes the real-time sharing possible.

On Industry Pro, subscriptions are tied to individual Apple IDs, which can't form that shared license group, so Live Layers isn't available on that tier.

💡 TIP: We're actively working on bringing Live Layers to Industry Pro users without needing a full Team subscription. There's no timeline to share yet, but if you'd like to add your voice to that effort, submit a request at our Feature Request board.

In the meantime, if you're on Industry Pro and need to share markup with just one or two collaborators, you have a couple of options:

Export and import Scriptation Layer Files (.slf) — Each of you can export a layer from your script and send it to the other, who then imports it into their own copy. It's not real-time, but it keeps annotations in sync. See How to Share Layers with Export. Only the person exporting needs Industry Pro — anyone can receive and import an .slf file.
Use a shared cloud folder — If you're both working from the same cloud storage location (like Dropbox or Google Drive), you can save your annotated script there and take turns working on it.

How to check if your device is on a Team or Enterprise license

Open Settings and tap the Account tab.
Look at the Subscriptions section. If you're activated under a Team or Enterprise license, your license info will appear there.
If the Team section just shows a Log In button, your device isn't yet activated — see How do I activate a Team license? or How do I redeem a Scriptation Enterprise invitation? for the steps.

💡 TIP: If you're logged in with an Enterprise license and your device still doesn't show Live Layers, ask your Production Admin for access.

Learn more about Team and Enterprise

Scriptation Team starts at packages of 10 activations — just five colleagues with two devices each is enough to form a group.
Scriptation Enterprise is built for studios and networks that need to manage Scriptation access across multiple productions and many devices.

Still don't have access?

If you believe your device should be activated under a Team or Enterprise license but Live Layers still isn't appearing, please reach out using the Send us an email button at the bottom of this page and include your Device ID so we can check your activation.
