====== How can I get Premium? ======

----
===== 1. Open the Premium screen =====
There are several options to open it in the app, choose which suits you the best:
==== Go Premium! ====
The primary link. You can find it in the **[[manual:user_guide:settings:mainmenu|main menu]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium01.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Inactive Premium features ====
They are scattered all over the free app, for example here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium02.jpg?nolink |}}
Tapping such a feature opens a box with detailed information about it:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium03.jpg?nolink |}}
You can either close the box or **continue...**
===== 2. Select your Premium plan =====
Browse the options or tap the selection button right away:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium04.jpg?nolink |}}
After signing up or in the **[[manual:user_guide:locus_store:user_profile|Locus account]]**, choose your plan - **Silver** or **Gold**. Premium annual subscription is the default choice:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium05.jpg?nolink |}}
You can also select other options - shorter subscription or one-time payments:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium06.jpg?nolink |}}
===== 3. Subscribe or purchase =====
All payments are processed by Google Play with the **[[https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2651410|options available in your country]].**
<WRAP center round tip>
  * Monthly subscriptions can be **paused for up to three months**. Google Play will offer this option when you choose to abort the monthly subs.
  * When your Premium plan is active you have a few options for the **plan change**, [[manual:faq:subs_higher|see >>]]
</WRAP>
There are two **alternative options** how to get the Premium:

==== Premium for LoCoins ====
If you have enough LoCoins you can purchase Premium for them - e.g. Locus **[[manual:about:translation|translators]]** and other supporters who get LC rewards. However, you have to activate this option first in the **[[manual:advanced:customization:config|expert settings]]**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium07.jpg?nolink |}}
If your LoCoin balance is sufficiently high the LC purchase option activates in the offer:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium08.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Premium Voucher ====
=== Purchase ===
If you need to avoid purchasing or subscribing to Premium via Google Play you can buy a one-year voucher at our **[[https://www.locusmap.app/vouchers/|website]]**.
=== Sponsoring ===
Our company gives away vouchers on various occasions, e.g. to **[[https://www.locusmap.app/support-for-search-and-rescue/|supported Search&Rescue organizations]]**.
==== How to redeem a voucher ====
=== Locus account ===
Open your Locus account and tap **Redeem voucher**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium10.jpg?nolink |}}
=== Go Premium ===

Open the app **main menu > Go Premium > Select Premium plan**. The voucher code is inserted here:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:premium09.jpg?nolink |}}
After inserting the voucher the app directly **re-initializes in the Premium mode.** When the voucher expires the app returns to its basic mode.
