How do I transfer my license onto a new device?

You can install and use a Devart product on both a desktop and a laptop with a single license, as long as it is used exclusively by the same person. For more details, please refer to our EULA.

If you need to transfer your license to a new device, you may need to deactivate the previous activation or uninstall the software from the old device, depending on the product you have purchased.

Database and Connectivity Tools, Review Assistant, Code Compare, SSIS Components (Subscription)

Log in to your account: Log in to your Devart account using the email address associated with your license. 

Note: If you don't have access to the required account, you may need to reach out to the license owner for assistance. 

Access your products: After logging in, navigate to the Products section. This page displays all your purchased products and the associated activation details. 

Deactivate the license: Find the unnecessary machine ID next to the product you want to deactivate and click the Deactivate button next to it. This will free up the license for use on another device.  

Once the license is deactivated, the software on the deactivated device will no longer function unless reactivated. 

You can now activate the license on a new device. 

dotConnect, Entity Developer, Excel Add-ins and SSIS Components (Perpetual)

If you are using one of these products and need to transfer it to a new device, simply uninstall the components from your old device and then run the installer on the new device.
