Can I transfer a purchased key to a new pc?

Post by Wolfmancatsup » Mon Aug 18, 2025 9:15 pm

Hi all
First post. I’ve been using MakeMKV for a while and have decided to splash out and purchase a serial number.
However, I’ll be moving to a new pc early next year. Will it be straightforward to move MakeMKV to the new machine or will I have to jump through a few hoops to do so?
Thanks
Mick

Just be sure not to lose the email with your key in it. When you get the new machine, download MakeMKV and input your key. It'll work like you expect it to.

...and all sorted. Key purchased, and received a couple of minutes later.

Take your favourite text editor and write that key down. Make several copy of that file.

I also backup my .MakeMKV file and transfer that to another computer.
Debian 13
Xfce 4.20
MakeMKV 1.18.1 (Reg)
2x Pioneer BD-ROM BDC-202
