Transfer, Renew Licenses & Offline Activation

TRANSFER LICENSE TO ANOTHER COMPUTER

If you would like to move your VideoDust license from one computer to another, you will need to hold down the 'Command Key' and 'Shift Key' while opening VideoDust. This will bring up a dialog box -

 

Choose the 'Release License' from the drop down menu -

 

Hit 'OK'. 

This will release the software license from this computer and the dialog box will disappear.

On the other computer, transfer the VideoDust application and once again hold down the 'Command Key' and 'Shift Key' while opening VideoDust. Select the 'Restore License' from the drop down menu -

 

The dialog box will then disappear and you will need to re-open Videodust.

 

RENEWAL OF LICENSE

If you downloaded a new license of the same duration after an original has expired on the same machine you will need to reset the license on that machine. Please notify us beforehand so we can set the correct parameter on the licensing server.

Hold down the 'Command Key' and 'Shift Key' while opening VideoDust. This will once again bring up a dialog box -

 

Choose 'Remote Reset' from drop down menu and hit 'OK'
