Protecting your USB license
You should keep your USB license in a safe place when you are not using it. Some thieves will steal a USB license thinking it is a flash drive. When they find that it is not usable, they discard it. If your USB license is lost or stolen, you must purchase a new license from Lambda Research.
Moving your USB license to a new computer.
This is simple! Unplug the USB license from the old computer, and plug it into the new computer. You must also install the software on the new computer.
Protecting your soft license
You should protect your soft license the same as you would any item of intellectual property on your computer by making regular backups of the hard drive. Your license may be lost or destroyed for any of numerous reasons, including a hard drive failure, reformatting the hard drive, Windows upgrade or re-install, etc. If the backup is restored to the same hard drive on the same computer, the license should work. If the backup is restored to a different hard drive or the same hard drive on a different computer, the license will become deactivated, and needs to be replaced.
