Hello, I will format my laptop and need to uninstall PInegrow. Is there any step I need to perform to de-activate the license before removing the application? Regards ---

Not that I know of. I’ve always just re-installed it on a new machine, entered my license and good to go. It’s limited by license to only two machines on the same account, but that is more a “soft-limit” as it doesn’t keep track of your devices like Apple does, in which you need to de-activate devices. But just to be 100% sure, it’s most likely that if the option is not in the settings of the application, to de-activate your license, then it doesn’t work that way. That’s because it’s not there… Just checks if your license is valid to use for that version… Greetings, Guus ---

You are right, there is no deactivate option, I will unistall it as any other program. Thanks for your response.
