How do I update to the latest version of Retrobatch?

Open Retrobatch. If a dialog box doesn't pop up telling you about the latest version, you can select Retrobatch ▸ Check for Updates. You will be guided to download the latest version of Retrobatch if you don't already have it. If you bought Retrobatch from the App Store updates are managed through the store under 'Updates'. At this time the App Store does not allow us to direct customers to a new major release to upgrade. The best way to stay on top of major releases is to subscribe to the Flying Meat newsletter: http://www.flyingmeat.com/newsletter/.

How do I know if I'm running Retrobatch Pro or Regular?

The "Welcome to Retrobatch" window will let you know what version you are using (available via the Window menu). You can also look at your license under Retrobatch's Preferences window. If it starts with "FMRBP" you are using Retrobatch Pro.

Can I use the same registration on multiple computers?

Yes, you may use your Retrobatch registration on multiple computers as long as it is only you using the license. And if you have a single Mac with multiple people using it, you do not need to purchase an additional license. However, if you have multiple computers and multiple people wanting to use Retrobatch, you will need to buy an additional license for each computer.
