# Turn a computer-locked license to a floating license

Aim

You may want to turn a computer-locked (fixed-seat) license to a floating license because you want to use EthoVision XT on multiple computers (although not simultaneously).

Note that if you purchased multiple floating licenses, you can work on multiple computers simultaneously, because a license will be active in each computer.

Prerequisites

▪You have the Activation Key for your license.

Procedure

1.Open EthoVision XT and deactivate the computer-locked license. See Deactivate a computer-locked license

2.After deactivation of the license, EthoVision XT closes.

3.Start EthoVision XT on the computer where you want to activate the floating license. Here you need an internet connection.

4.Choose Activate software license key, then Floating - On multiple computers. Follow the instructions in Activate a floating license.

Notes

▪If you choose to deactivate offline, first click OK, then scan the QR code that appears. Follow the link and click/tap Deactivate.
