After installing on the new computer, use the same activation license/password to activate it. To activate Fire Studio 6, go to the activation screen, enter your License ID and activation password provided during purchase or registration. Additionally, you can assign a name to the installation, such as "User’s Laptop" or "Office Desktop," to help manage licenses easily.
To move the license back to the original computer, follow the same instructions starting from the current licensed computer.
Follow these steps to smoothly deactivate and reactivate your FS5 and Fire Studio 6.2 license on another computer, ensuring a seamless transition between devices. If activation fails post-reset or due to policy changes, test on an alternate network, consult your IT team to adjust settings, or contact Digital Combustion customer support for assistance.
