How to Transfer a Waggoner CCVT License Between Windows PCs

This article explains how to remove (deactivate) a Waggoner CCVT license from an existing Windows computer and install and activate it on a new Windows computer. It includes download, installation, and activation steps, along with supported transfer constraints and common troubleshooting actions.

Supported Transfers

  • Transferring a license from Windows to an Apple device (or reverse) is supported only if both devices are running Waggoner CCVT 4.2.2 or higher. You can verify your current version by navigating to Settings → Account → About within the application.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure you have your license code available
  • During deactivation, copy and save the license key (e.g., in Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on macOS) so you can reactivate on the new device
  • Ensure access to your registered email account
  • If needed, on-call support is available to guide you through the transfer process
