Managing your devices
Each license allows a limited number of active devices at once (3 by default). Understanding where to manage that saves confusion when you get a new computer.
The app manages only itself
Settings → License & Activation in the app can only activate, check the status of, or deactivate the device you're currently using. It has no view into your other activated devices — there's no list of them anywhere in the app.
The website manages everything
The license portal on the website is where you see and manage every device on your license at once: look up your license by key or email, see each device's name and last-seen time, and deactivate any of them remotely — including ones you no longer have access to (an old computer that was wiped, lost, or sold).
Moving to a new computer
- On the old computer, if you still have access: Settings → License & Activation → Deactivate.
- If you don't have access anymore: use the website's license portal to deactivate that device remotely instead.
- On the new computer: Settings → License & Activation → paste your key → Activate License.
If you try to activate a device while already at your license's limit, activation will fail until you free up a slot using one of the two methods above.
