Activate a license key

After you have purchased a license key from us, you need to activate it before you can use all of FlowShare’s Pro features. This is done in just a few steps:

1. After downloading and installing, open FlowShare. In the menu bar on the left, look toward the bottom and click the Settings icon (gear symbol).

2. Click on the “License” tab. Enter your license key in the text field and click on the “Activate” button. Now you can use all FlowShare features without any restrictions.

If you encounter an activation error, please refer to our article on why activation might fail and how to resolve the issue.

Deactivate a key in the App

You have more options to deactivate your license key in the FlowShare app:

  1. Automatic deactivation by uninstalling FlowShare
    Simply uninstall FlowShare from your current device. This should automatically deactivate your license.

  2. Manual deactivation in the FlowShare app
    To manually deactivate your license key in FlowShare, follow these steps:

    • Open FlowShare and go to the Settings menu in the left menu bar.

    • Select the License tab.

    • Click the Deactivate button.

    Your license key is now deactivated and can be reactivated on another device if needed.

  3. If you have a floating license URL and you want to remove it from the FlowShare app, simply go to the Settings menu, License tab and click on Activate button in the Fixed-license section.

Deactivate a key on the Portal

You can also deactivate your license key through the FlowShare Portal

  1. Login to the FlowShare Portal

  2. Click on the the Manage License Key menu on the left

  3. You can see your license key(s) on the page

  4. To deactivate a key, you can click on the Deactivate icon.

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.
