Deactivate license on dead laptop
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:50 pm
I have 4 licenses, one of those is licensed on a laptop that now has a failed motherboard.
I would prefer to go through the License Deactivate process on the laptop if possible, but this laptop will never live again.
If I remove the hard disk and can successfully boot it on another laptop, will the license deactivate process work or is it doomed to fail because the license is linked to some hardware characteristic in the original laptop ?
I want to try to deactivate this way before going to the deactivation process described here [https://magicmusicvisuals.com/licenseDeactivation], because I assume that online process will require me to re-license the other three machines as well.
cheers
