If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?

Also, if the answer to above is yes, how do the software companies protect themselves from piracy?If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?Yes you can only if you uninstall the one installed on your old computer.



Edit:



Companies do protect themselves from piracy by not allowing to install the same license on more than one PC. This is done by validation of product key and the installation ID generated while installing the software.If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?yes so long as you have the key, it should be registered to you and it will be registered with you ip address and possibly email as wellIf I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?You should be able to install it on your new computer. BUT you may have to uninstall it on the old computer first. A record was probably be made on the disc indicating that you installed it on the old computer. When you uninstall it from the old computer that record will be changed on the disc, thereby allowing you to install it on the new computer.If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?Hi,



For the first question, it depends on their License Agreement, formarly known as %26quot;End User License Agreement%26quot;. You may read it during the program installation.If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?you have to unvalidated the os on the old computer frist then install and validate it on the new computer

or you can buy two license for that os and you can run it on both computersIf I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?Yes of course you can, as long as you have the PRODUCT KEY / CD KEY, you can install the software. even if you change your computer many times.If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?No you can not installed licensed software on any other PC because its violating the end user agreements of software company. This thing is written in the terms and conditions of the software. You didn't mention that you want to use in home or in organization. For organization you can purchase the technical license of the software. But this is not apply for all software best thing is the Customer care or technical support of the software is the best place to find the ans of your problems.If I purchase licensed software and then change my computer, will i be able to install it in my new machine?It depends. Some licenses allow you to move the software to a new computer, some don't. Some have methods to allow it only on one at a time. For example, Adobe requires you to deauthorize the application on one computer before moving it to another.
