Limit of activations exceeded (dbForge)
When you change hardware components, reinstall the operating system, or switch user profiles on your computer, the Hardware ID may change. As a result, the software may treat it as a new installation on a different machine.
Please also note that installations on virtual machines are considered separate devices.
You can manage your license activations directly in your Devart Account.
To check the Hardware ID of your current machine, open dbForge and go to Help → About, then click View System Info, and use the Send Info button to generate the report. The Hardware ID will be listed there. You can compare it with the Hardware IDs shown in your Devart Account.
To do this, log in at https://secure.devart.com/ using the email associated with your license. If you don’t have access to that email, please contact the person who does.
Once logged in, you can review your current activations.
Each license can be used on up to two computers at the same time. To free up a slot, locate the device you no longer need and click Deactivate next to it.
After deactivation, the software on that device will stop working until it is activated again. You can then use the freed activation on another machine or to resolve activation issues.
