# How do I move my licence to a new Mac?

Ask us to release the lock, then activate on the new Mac with the same email and License Code.

1. On the old Mac (if you still have it), open **Settings → License** and click **Remove from this Mac**.
2. Reply to your activation email or contact support@storagestudio.us to release the Mac lock.
3. On the new Mac, enter your email and License Code in **Settings → License**.
