What constitutes an Activation?

[iamimdoc (Robert Harris)]

If I install Photolab 3 on a pc, uninstall it and reinstall on same computer is this considered to be one or two activations?

I am new user and posted several questions about 8 hours ago. This post has not shown up - should it by now?

Thanks

If I uninstall the DxO software from my current computer, will that...

If PC is anything like Mac then as long as you don’t remove the license file that’s written at activation then reinstalling (or updating, which is effectively the same thing) doesn’t require a new activation.

Reinstalling on another computer is a different story. In that case you need to contact support to release your previous activation, which was not a particularly smooth/quick experience when I needed to do this last month.

Good morning, Robert,

• It’s considered as one activation, moreover if you didn’t remove the License folder manually, the application will still be activated.
