Changing computer
Moving your licence to a new PC takes one click and no second purchase. The transfer is automatic, with one limit to know about.
Updated August 7, 2026 · Licence & account
New PC, reinstalled Windows, a machine you sold: none of these require buying the software again. Your licence moves.
How to do it
- 1
Install the app on the new PC
Use the download link from your purchase email, or your account on the site. Same installer, nothing specific to do.
- 2
Activate this PC
Click the button in your purchase email from the new machine, or activate from your account.
- 3
Nothing else
The licence moves to the new PC, and the old one releases it automatically. There is no step to perform on the old machine, which matters when you no longer have it.
The one limit: one transfer per 15 days
A transfer is possible at most once every 15 days. If you try again sooner, activation is refused and tells you how many days remain.
The reason is straightforward: without that delay, one licence could rotate between several PCs and the one-machine rule would mean nothing. Fifteen days is long enough to make sharing impractical, and short enough never to bother a genuine change of computer.
Cases that count as a transfer
- A new computer: the obvious case.
- A clean Windows reinstall: the machine is no longer recognised as the same one and needs reactivating.
- A major hardware change: replacing several core components can be enough for the machine to look new.
A simple Windows update, a new graphics card or added RAM will not normally trigger a reactivation.
You are blocked and you need it now
If you hit the 15-day limit after a genuine incident (a PC that died, a forced reinstall), contact us with your purchase email address. We can see the licence and unblock the situation. The delay is there to stop sharing, not to punish a hardware failure.
Before selling or giving away a PC
Uninstalling the app is enough. The licence is bound to that machine and stops working there as soon as you activate elsewhere: the buyer inherits nothing usable.
One habit worth keeping either way: hold on to your purchase email. It stays the fastest route to activation, on any machine, for as long as you own the software.
