[Feature] Share license activation across all macOS users #5737

Currently you need to activate a license for each macOS user of the same machine. The problem is, that you are limited with 3 in that case. My usecase - I have multiple macOS users to have separate workflows (personal, work, deep focus, communication, study, etc). I am the only person and I want to use Typora everywhere. It is currently done in other paid apps, like Rectangle Pro, Cold Turkey.

Would be great to have for Typora too!

I would change this issue to something more generic for all Operative Systems instead of only for macOS.

I’m personally using Windows on 2 PCs. In both of these I have a user for personal time and another for work. I like having this user separation to keep all my stuff organized, but I have to activate Typora separately for each user.

Perhaps some might worry that adding system wide activation would allow different people to access Typora through a single license, but at this point personal computers have become such a big part of our daily lives that most people I know have a PC or a laptop to themselves.

Installing Typora system wide is already a thing (in Windows at least). I would really love this to be added!
