When you activate a ShareGate subscription, we generate an alphanumeric license key to track your subscription. If your subscription type includes multiple machine activations, your license key is the same for all machine activations.
Note: Since your license key is based on your account number and machine info, changing your machine or domain name invalidates your machine activations. If that happens, you can remove your machine activations in ShareGate Home and re-activate them.
Tip: See how-to transfer a machine activation to another computer here.
