// quick answer

Alfred's terms say Powerpack refunds are not offered for incompatibility with your Mac or your needs, or for buying the wrong license type, because the free core can be tried first. Lost license codes can be recovered from the purchase email or Preferences > Powerpack.

Most likely fix: Understand the refund policy
