If you’re looking to use your MobiPDF subscription on a new Windows device, you’ll need to transfer your license by removing it from your current device first. This article will guide you through the process and provide helpful troubleshooting tips to ensure a smooth transition.

Note: Before resetting or signing out from a device, ensure that all your important files are backed up locally or to the cloud to avoid losing any data.
Steps to Activate Your License on a New Windows Device
Once your license is removed from the old device, follow these steps to activate it on a new Windows device:
-
Download the MobiPDF App: Visit the MobiPDF official website and download the app to your new Windows device.
-
Sign In to Your Account: Launch the app and sign in using the account linked to your subscription. This will automatically activate your license on the new device.
That’s it! You’re ready to start using MobiPDF on your new Windows device.
Common Troubleshooting Tips
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter during the transfer process:
1. Error: “This key has already been used”

3. Activation Not Working
-
Ensure you’re signed in with the correct account linked to your subscription.
