How to move your activation to a new computer
Reformatting your computer? Changing a hard drive? Replacing a computer?
Deactivate first!
You can activate Art and Stitch BASE on two computers, Art and Stitch PLUS on three, provided they are of the same person. If you want to replace your computer, laptop, or plan repair work on your computer it is very important to deactivate first, otherwise you would lose an activation!
Deactivate is done via menu Help > License Activator > select product (PLUS first) and click on button Deactivate. Repeat the steps to deactivate BASE level.
Important: "deactivate" is NOT the same as uninstall.
Detailed instructions can be found here: https://artandstitch.com/howtodeactivate.htm
Please read all 5 paragraphs below - that will save time, promise!
Tip for our dealers / resellers:
A registered/activated program cannot be resold. Therefore do NOT register/activate an Art and Stitch CD that you intend to resell. You can demo the software in trial mode by simply closing the form on startup.
