Can I move my Gesvatec license to a different PC?
Yes. A software license works on a single PC or device, so moving the license means deactivating it on the current PC and then activating it on the new one. If you need help with the process, please contact the Gesvatec Support Team (GST).
Please note: the software must always be installed on a local/physical computer where the user operates directly. Virtual machines (VMs), multi-user servers (Windows Server, Samba), remote desktops, Citrix and terminal servers are not supported, as the licence is tied to the specific physical machine where the software runs.
The full process has 3 steps:
1. Deactivate the license on the current PC
In the labeling software, go to Help → Activation wizard and choose Deactivate Gesvatec. If you no longer have access to the software (computer formatted, broken, etc.), you can deactivate it as a last resort from the private area of the website, under Administration → Licenses Management. When deactivated, a new license (PKC) is generated, which is the one you will activate on the new PC.
2. Install the software on the new PC
To download the software, log in to PackCert with your username and password. In the header, on the right-hand side, click the downloads icon: from there you can download the installation guide with the up-to-date links. Follow the guide to install the software on the new computer.
3. Activate the license on the new PC
Once the software is installed, go to Help → Activation wizard and choose Activate Gesvatec. Enter your username and the new license (PKC) generated during deactivation.

We recommend moving the license with some margin before the season starts, so you have time to resolve any technical issues.
