Licensing & payments · Your licence and your Macs

What does "Remove from this Mac" do?

Short answer: It removes the licence record from this Mac only; your subscription and billing carry on. Cancel in the billing portal first if you also want billing to stop.

It drops the licence record on this Mac only. After you confirm, this Mac stops reading as licensed and falls back to the trial or purchase screen. Your subscription is untouched — billing carries on as normal.

Use it when selling or repurposing the Mac, moving your licence to another machine, or clearing a stuck activation. To stop billing too, open the billing portal first with Manage Subscription and cancel there, so you don't lose easy access to it.
