You can transfer a TYPE3 license key from one computer to another. This is typically done when replacing an old computer with a new one.

Before you start transferring your dongle, make sure that:

  • all USB accessories from your computer are unplugged
  • you’re logged in to your computer as an administrator

NOTE: This process is for the software protection license that doesn’t use a hardware dongle. If you aren’t sure if this applies to your situation, please contact us for confirmation.
