Move Maclip to a new Mac

One licence covers up to 2 Macs that you own, and moving it takes a minute.

How many Macs

Activate on a third Mac and the licence moves off the Mac that was activated longest ago, automatically. That Mac is told why the next time it checks in.

Free a Mac yourself

  1. On the old Mac, open Maclip Settings → License.
  2. Click Deactivate Mac and confirm.
  3. On the new Mac, install Maclip and activate with the same key.
