Part 2: Transferring and Reactivating your TeamViewer License to a New Computer

Here, we have compiled a list of official solutions provided by the TeamViewer Support team that might help.

Regarding TeamViewer installation restrictions:

TeamViewer allows you to connect to a maximum of three (3) remote devices at the same time.

If you have already registered three devices, you can deactivate (remove) one of your existing devices from the license.

Attention:
It is well-known that TeamViewer is free for personal use. Hence, the need to transfer a license to a new computer mostly applies to business users.
Hence, the methods outlined below are intended for business users or advanced users only, not for those who use it for free.

Before we begin:

Before you can initiate the transfer, you need to confirm that at least three devices (yours) are using the same license.

1. Check if your device has a TeamViewer license installed:

    Run TeamViewer and log in to the TeamViewer Management Console. Then, click on “Edit profile” in the top-right corner.

Open TeamViewer.

    Under the "License" tab, check if your device is assigned to your TeamViewer account and if the device name is displayed.

If it doesn't, your device isn't activated. If it says Yes, your device is activated.

Check if the device has a TeamViewer license activated

2. Check how many devices – your computer, phone, etc. – have been activated with the same account.

    • If you have fewer than 3 devices activated, you can simply log in to your TeamViewer account with your commercial license and use it on the new device.
    • If you have already reached the limit of 3 devices, you will need to de-activate (remove) one device from your commercial license in order to re-activate on a new device.

Process:

1. Deactivate and remove devices from a commercial license

Step 1. Open the TeamViewer Management Console and log in.

Step 2: Click on "Edit Profile."

Step 3: Go to the Licenses tab and click the Deactivate Devices button to remove your device from the commercial license.

2. Add new devices/computers to your TeamViewer Business License

Step 1: On your new computer, open the transferred Chrome and sign in with your account.

Step 2: Go to the TeamViewer Management Console and click on "Edit profile."

Step 3: Go to the Licenses tab, click Add new device, and enter the new computer's Device ID to activate it.

Add the new computer to your TeamViewer license.

Step 4. Click "Save," and then exit TeamViewer.

Step 5. Restart TeamViewer on the new computer to apply the changes.
