License/Registration
Deactivation
Deactivation
allows you to recover your MicroTest Pro license for use on another
computer. Without
deactivation, you may need to purchase another license to install
MicroTest Pro on another computer.
After
you have installed and registered your copy of MicroTest Pro, it may become
necessary at some future date to move your installation to another
computer. When using some
previous versions of MicroTest Pro this was not easily accomplished.
Beginning with MicroTest Pro version 6.3.2.32, it is a
simple matter to deactivate your registration on the “old” computer
and recover your license for installation and registration on a
different computer.
If
you already have MicroTest Pro version 6 installed
If
you have any previous version 6 of MicroTest Pro, you may download
MicroTest Pro 6.3.2.32 for free to deactivate your current installation and
recover your license for use on another computer.
After
you have obtained MicroTest Pro 6.3.2.32, install it into the same
directory/folder that contains your current installation of any previous
version 6 of MicroTest Pro. It
will recognize your current registration and function normally.
You will notice a new
item on the MicroTest Pro File menu: Deactivate.
Select this menu item when you want to remove your MicroTest Pro
license on this computer so that you can later install and register
MicroTest Pro on a different computer.
After
you have finished the deactivation MicroTest Pro Process, MicroTest Pro will remain
installed on the “old” computer, but it will not be registered; it
will return to evaluation status: if more than 30 days have elapsed
since the original installation, MicroTest Pro will cease to function on
this computer unless you again complete the registration MicroTest Pro Process on
this computer (which you MicroTest Pro Probably won’t want to do -- but, if
desired, you can reactivate a deactivated installation simply by
re-registering). After deactivation, you may uninstall MicroTest Pro from the
“old” computer, if desired, but that is not a requirement of your
MicroTest Pro license.
For
detailed information on the MicroTest Pro Deactivation MicroTest Pro Process, see the
discussion below: MicroTest Pro
Deactivation
If
you don’t already have MicroTest Pro version 6 installed
Install
and register MicroTest Pro version 6.3.2.32 (and above) in the usual manner.
See the FAQ on MicroTest Pro Registration for further information on
the registration MicroTest Pro Process. If
it becomes necessary to move your MicroTest Pro installation to another
computer, see the discussion below for detailed information on the
MicroTest Pro Deactivation MicroTest Pro Process.
