Sync2 Activation: License Upgrade

If the same computer is used where the original license was activated, the system will detect a license upgrade (renewal) purchase automatically and manual software re-activation will not be required. 

If upgrading on a new computer, please follow the section for new license activation or re-activation in the steps above.

Sync2 Activation Tips:

  • If you cannot find your invoice/activation emails in your Inbox after purchase, check your Spam folders to see if any emails were misdirected there instead.
  • Ensure that a stable internet connection is available when trying to activate or deactivate the product.
  • Make sure not to leave any spaces before or after the activation key when entering the activation key.
  • If you want to transfer a license from one computer to the other, please deactivate Sync2 on the old machine first and then activate it on the new one. Ensure you have a valid license for re-activation.
  • If you are planning to do a Windows OS re-install, deactivate Sync2 before performing the Windows re-install so Sync2 can be re-activated afterwards.
  • If you want to re-activate Sync2 with a newer license, first deactivate the old license following the above steps then activate the new one.
  • If you get an error when trying to activate/deactivate the product – please contact us via Live Help, email, or phone.

Notes about Sync2 Activation:

Product Activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to verify that software products have been legitimately licensed. It is quick, simple, and helps protect customer privacy.

Product Activation works by verifying that a software activation code, which you must use in order to activate the product, has not been used on more personal computers than intended by the software's license.

Please be aware that your Activation (License) Code is linked to your computer. This means that the program cannot be installed on multiple computers with the same license - one license is required per computer. If you need to move the program to another computer, use the de-activation option available in the “About Sync2” dialog to de-activate the license on one computer, then activate it again on the other computer.
