Change Device

If you need to move the current license to another computer, follow this Change Device process.

Requirements#

Before you start, confirm that the original device meets all of the following conditions:

• The remaining validity period is more than 22 days; renew it first if needed
• The replacement target is a brand-new device or an expired device
• At least 48 hours have passed since the previous device change

Steps#

1. Sign in to MCA ADMIN with the correct admin account: https://mcastar.net/home
2. In the device list, find the original device you want to replace and click Change Device
3. Click Generate Device-Change Code (token)
4. The device change code (token) can only be generated on the MCA ADMIN page at mcastar.net/home. Please complete the remaining steps within 5 minutes
5. Install and launch MCA on the new device, enter the activation screen, and enter the 8-digit device change code (token) directly in the activation code input box. This input box is also used for the activation code; the system auto-detects based on the number of digits entered: an 8-digit entry is recognized as a device change code and triggers a confirmation. Submit the change after confirming
6. Restart MCA so the change takes effect

Notes#

• After the change, all settings and data from the original device are inherited in full
• Each device change deducts 1 day of valid usage
