Question

How do I transfer and activate my Xshell 6 License on a different device?


Answer:

A single user license can be installed on up to two devices. Once you reach your activation limit, you will be unable to activate your license on a different device.
However, let's say you are decommissioning one of your devices and you'd like to move your Xshell license to a new device. You can follow these steps.
  1. Uninstall Xshell on the device you will no longer be using Xshell.
    This will return an activation count to your activation pool so it can be allocated elsewhere.

  2. Install and activate Xshell on your new device.


Note: If you reformat your device without first uninstalling Xshell, the activation count will not return to your pool and that activation count will be lost. Always uninstall Xshell before reformatting your device.
