Purchase the License: Click the extension icon, go to the settings gear, and select the "Convert" or "Premium" tab to find the purchase link.

The primary purpose of the license is to remove technical limitations. Most notably, it enables the "Companion App" to perform advanced functions that the browser itself cannot handle due to security restrictions, such as aggregating video and audio streams into a single file. Key Benefits of the Premium License

The Video DownloadHelper lifetime license typically costs around $28.50 USD (prices may vary slightly based on currency exchange rates). Since it is a perpetual license, you do not have to worry about recurring billing. It is important to note that the license is usually tied to your email address or a unique key, allowing you to reactivate it if you switch computers. How to Install and Activate on Chrome

Install the Companion App: Because Chrome limits what extensions can do on your hard drive, you must download and install the Companion App from the official Video DownloadHelper website.

HLS Stream Support: Many modern sites use HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). The premium version allows you to download these streams directly as MP4 files.

Conversion Features: You gain the ability to convert downloaded videos into different formats or extract audio as MP3 files.
