Yes, you can. You'll have to activate the installation on the new computer, you won't be able to return back to the old computer.

Do I need to uninstall or deactivate the old pc before activating the new pc? Or just activate on new pc without doing anything on old pc?

Uninstalling isn't necessary, but recommended if you're not going to obtain a new license for the old pc. When started on the old pc, R-Drive Image will start with its demo mode expired. When a new license is entered, R-Drive Image will work as a newly registered program.

It turns out that it is possible to transfer a license to a second computer without purchasing a new license. But I thought each machine could only use 1 rdi license?

Yes, it's possible. For example, you bought a new computer and transfer all software from your old computer to the new one. You can transfer the R-Drive Image license to the new computer. After this, R-Drive Image will not work on the old one under this transferred license. You'll need to obtain a new license.

I was looking through this thread because I’m curious about how the R-TT license transfer process works when moving to a different computer. It seems like a simple thing, but software licenses can sometimes be surprisingly confusing, especially when the original machine is no longer being used. I think it would be helpful if there were a clear step-by-step explanation of what happens to the old activation and how the license can be activated again on the new system. It would also be useful to know whether users need to contact support or if the transfer can be done directly through their account. I’ve had to move software between computers before, and keeping track of old activations can definitely be annoying. Hopefully the replies here can clarify the process for anyone else who needs to move their license. After dealing with software settings, I’d probably take a break with something simple like https://mecchachameleon2.com
