Licence & help

Managing your licence

Check your licence, move it to another Mac, or change your plan.

Open the Licence window from Licence at the top of the home window.

  • Manage… opens your account, where you'll find your key and invoices, and can change or cancel a plan.
  • Deactivate This Mac frees this Mac's activation, so the key can be used on another one.
  • Check Again appears when the licence needs checking.

Moving to a new Mac

Click Deactivate This Mac on the old Mac, then enter the key on the new one. If the old Mac is gone, deactivate it from your account under Manage….
