Reactivate License

The Reactivate License option is used in situations when you have transferred your license from a computer to another computer and at a later date decide to transfer the license back to the computer previously transferred from. 

Note that to do this successfully you must not have uninstalled CPA from the computer from which the license was transferred. 

The following steps guide you through the Reactivate License process.  Note the following steps are assuming that you've already performed the Transfer License procedure on the other computer and the license has been transferred to 's Validation Server.
  • Confirm an Internet connection for the computer on which you are reactivating the license.
  • Start CPA on the computer that you want to reactivate the license on.  Note this computer should already have CPA installed and on which the license was previously transferred.
  • Click on the Help --> Reactivate menu option.


  • When the Activation Window appears choose the Auto Activate option.  Click on the Continue button.


  • Enter the serial number, including dashes.  Upper or lower case characters are allowed.  Name, email address, and company are not required.  Click on the Continue button.



    Expect a short delay while CPA interacts with the Validation Server.  Once the serial number has been transferred you'll see a message that the reactivation was successful.  Note that you may have to restart CPA in order for the program update button to become active.
