FAQ: How do I move my license from one computer to another?

Not all publishers provide mobile licenses. If your license is mobile, you can unlicense one computer and then get the license on another. This is done using eLicense Control:
  1. Right-click on the program icon, and choose "eLicense Control"
    OR
    go the eLicense Control in your Control Panel or in Windows Explorer and right-click the program name or icon
  2. Click "Unlicense"
    If you do not see this choice, then your license is not mobile, or it is a trial license, or you have already unlicensed it, or it has expired.
  3. The Unlicense dialog will appear, with your Order ID in it. Make sure you are connected to the internet, then click the "Unlicense" button.
  4. To get the license you have unlicensed on the other computer, use the "License" or "Get License" button which is on the eLicense screen which appears when you launch the software. Enter the Order ID.
    If you are getting a license again on a machine which you have previously unlicensed, the Order ID will already be in the Get License dialog.
Note that you do not have to uninstall the software to move the license from one machine to another. You can have the software installed on as many computers as you like, and move your licenses around to where you need to be using the progam at any point in time.
