Move License to another computer

Hi Calvin,
As you've figured out, the licence files are not portable, because they
contain a machine hash specific to the computer you've activated on. You
will need to activate the software again on the new computer. Go ahead and
give this a try. If you get a message back from the server saying you've
exceeded the maximum number of activations, feel free to email
support@red-gate.com, and we'll allow another activation for that serial
number.
Thanks,
Brian Donahue
