Hero Labs Online Help
 

Do I need to purchase Hero Labs Online if I already have Hero Labs to use 2.0 or Starfinder?

Yes, if you want to use HLO (beyond what the Demo lets you do) then you need to purchase it and whichever game systems or other materials you want to use with it. Your desktop Hero Lab purchases have nothing to do with HLO.

Thanks Parody!

Well, eventually when (if) games are on both HLC & HLO, the content you've purchased will be available on both.

I'm only concerned with what's available at the present time. We'll cross that bridge (and learn the toll for doing so) if/when it happens.

If you already have Starfinder, HLO for Playtest is currently free. I don't know if it's free if you haven't purchased Starfinder, but I'm thinking so. If you only want to use Pathfinder Playtest, you should not currently have to purchase any online material or access.

Strange. I had to purchase the playtest before I could use it. Maybe I missed something? Regardless, I'll likely be using PF2E when the playtest completes, if only for organized play, so the automatic conversion into the release version of the rules justifies the purchase.

It's not free; you're limited to what the Demo version of HLO allows you to do. (Notably, you can only have one level on your character.)

Hi.

I'm trying to try out the playtest demo, and it's saying I should log in with my current account. I have only HL Classic for pathfinder and it won't let me log in with it. Says my account doesn't exist.

Do I need to create a new account?

How does it work?

Yes, you will need to login with your Realm Works account (if you have one) or create a new account. HLO accounts are not connected to your HLC account. Hope this helps.
