Part 2: Moving the TeamViewer License to a New Computer and Reactivating It

Here, we've gathered some solutions from the TeamViewer Support team that might help. Hopefully, one of the suggestions below will do the trick for you.

Regarding TeamViewer installation restrictions:

TeamViewer allows you to connect to up to three (3) remote devices at a time.

If you've already registered three devices, you can unregister (remove) one of your existing devices.

Before we begin:

Before you begin the transfer, make sure that the license is being used on at least three different devices.

1. Check if TeamViewer is installed and authorized on your device:

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

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

If it does not, the device is not activated. If it does, your device has been activated.

2. Check how many devices (such as your computer, phone, and so on) have activated the account.

• If you have less 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 reached the limit of 3 devices, you will need to de-activate (remove) one device from your commercial license and then re-activate on the new device.

Process:

1. Deactivate and remove devices from a commercial license

Step 1: Open TeamViewer Management and log in.

Step 2: Click "Edit Profile."

Step 3: Go to the “License” tab and click the “Deactivate Machine” button to remove your machine from the commercial license.

Then, you can continue to add new computers to the “Business License.”

2. Add new devices/computers to your TeamViewer business license

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

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

Step 3: Go to the “Authorization” tab, click “Add New Device,” and enter the new computer's machine code to activate it.

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

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

Advanced users: If you are an advanced user with unlimited devices or are having issues moving your license to a new computer, please contact the TeamViewer support team for assistance.
