Transfer a license key
If there is a change of employees in the company or if an employee moves to another device, you may also need to move an already activated FlowShare license. You can do this very easily by following these steps.
1. First, deactivate the license key on the old device!
This is very important, otherwise you will not be able to install the license on the new device! If you have already attempted activation without first deactivating on the old device, your key will be blocked. In this case, please contact us directly at [email protected] email.
2. After having deactivated the license on the old device, activate it on the new one as explained above.
