Navigation:  MCL-Designer License Management > Transfer an MCL-Designer License

 

Overview

 

There are two MCL license products available - a "standard" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Std) and a "professional" MCL-Designer license (MCL-Designer Pro), each with its own services.

An MCL-Designer Pro license with a currently enabled MCL Support Service provides the additional service of license replacement.

For instance, if you have activated an MCL-Designer Pro license (with an active MCL Support Service) and the PC it is installed in malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC.

 

An MCL-Designer Pro license replacement requires you to cancel the MCL-Designer Pro license in your MCL-License Manager account (to disassociate the license from the PC it was installed in) and to activate it again in another PC.

 

 

License transfer is NOT a perpetual service. It is ONLY available for MCL-Designer Pro licenses with an active MCL Support Service and for a limited number of times.

 

 

License transfer is NOT included in the MCL Support Service for MCL-Designer Std licenses but, if necessary, you can purchase/associate an MCL-Designer Std - Instant Service add-on to your MCL-Designer Std license and execute one (1) license transfer to another device.

 

You have ten days to activate a canceled MCL-Designer license in a new PC. The countdown starts as soon as the license is canceled in your MCL-License Manager account.

After this period, the license is permanently deactivated.
