Instructions to Move your Fire Studio 7 License to Another Computer:
** If you want to keep any of the sim files you created on your computer(s), be sure to use the EXPORT function. Run Fire Studio, open each sim one at a time and instead of just clicking Save, click the Export button. Again, if they are not already Exported sims do this before moving them to another computer. This is also how you backup simulations also on the same device or moving them to a shared drive, cloud drive or external or thumb drive . Be sure to Export the sims to a folder that is backed up somewhere else in case of a hard drive failure, loss or computer theft. See this short video on Saving/Exporting/Publishing for more details and also able to tell the difference between just a Saved sim vs. an Exported simulation. Check our Video Center for more.
Here are the Instructions to Move your License to Another Computer:
Prerequisites
Ensure both computers (old and new) are connected to the internet.
Have your License ID and Activation Password ready. These can be retrieved from your original purchase email or on your Customer Portal (if available).
Administrator rights may be required to install or deactivate the software, particularly on organization-managed computers.
First, you must Deactivate your current License on your current Computer.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet to proceed. Administrator rights may also be required to proceed, such as for deactivating or installing the software.
Step 1: Open Fire Studio 7 on the old computer. Ensure the computer is connected to the internet.
Step 2: If the License panel isn't showing, press the "R" key to see the license information.
Step 3: Click the "Deactivate" button. Confirm the deactivation by selecting YES. This action verifies the deactivation over the internet.
Step 4: Answer YES to connect to the internet to deactivate Fire Studio 7.
Step 5: Once it is successfully deactivated, you can uninstall the software.
NOTE: If your deactivation fails you may not have admin rights and will need your IT department to perform the deactivation, or you may not be connected to the internet. Ensure you retry the process after verifying administrator rights and internet connection.
If you haven't done this already, you are ready to Install your Software on your New Computer.
Step 2: Activate Fire Studio 7 on the New Computer
Download the Fire Studio 7 installer from the official downloads page.
Install the software on the new computer. Administrator rights may be required for installation.
Launch Fire Studio 7 after installation is complete.
In the License panel, enter your License ID and Activation Password to activate the software.
Once you have it installed on your second computer, you can use the same activation license/password to activate on that computer.
Additional Tips
Save Your Credentials: Keep your License ID and Activation Password secure to facilitate future transfers or reactivations.
Test Activation: After completing activation on the new computer, test the software to ensure it functions correctly.
Uninstallation on Old Computer: While optional, removing Fire Studio 7 from the old computer can free up storage space.
