How to Make a Floppy Disk License Transfer

Use the floppy disk method to transfer the license between two PCs that cannot communicate over the network.

Note: When transferring the license to a different PC on your network, we recommend using the direct transfer method.

Using this method requires advance planning. Before you begin the transfer process, the trial license on the target PC (unlicensed version) must be expired. This is because the target PC needs to be registered before you transfer the license. You cannot register the PC until the trial license has expired.

For this transfer, you need an ordinary floppy disk with 180 bytes of free space.

The following scenario explains the procedure of transferring a license from your office PC to your home PC, and back again to the office PC.
