If the ideCAD, which is used by activating the license on the device A, is wanted to used on device B, license transfer must be made. The process of moving the existing license on the device A (office-laptop e.g.) to the device B (home-desktop e.g.) is called license transfer.
You can transfer a stand-alone license from one computer to another either temporarily or permanently.
