Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and downloading licences back to PC.

Hi Everyone! I took my computer for maintenance and was advised to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My doubt is: Will I be able to download licences again once the whole system will be changed? If it were just maintenance I know that I would not need any specific permissions for downloading licences, but it this case. Can you anyone tell me if me if I will need to request any kind of permission for getting my licences back to computer? Thank you for your time. Paulinho Fonseca.

    What do you mean by "download"?

    What you need to do is "return" or "deactivate" your Studio 2015 license by going to "Help- Product Activation" in Studio 2015 before doing the upgrade to Windows 10.
    The activation code of your license will then show as "available" in your customer account under "Licenses".

    Once you have done the upgrade to Windows 10, launch Studio and activate it again with the same license code.

    That's all.

    Forget about the 2011/2014 license codes, you will not be able to reactivate them on the new computer if they have been upgraded to Studio 2015. Upgrading Studio supersedes the previous version, meaning you can only use the latest version you upgraded to.
