Important

This article is for reference only. As of April 22, 2025, MacPaw stopped developing and maintaining CleanMy® PC.

If you already have a CleanMy® PC activation code and want to re-use it on another computer, you must cancel the current activation first. You can do this manually, using the License Manager, or in your MacPaw Account.

Use this method if you have a MacPaw Account—the service that lets you manage all your purchases from the MacPaw Store.

Sign in to your MacPaw Account.
Choose CleanMy® PC.
In the Devices section, click Manage Devices.
On the Devices page, find the computer you want to deactivate the license for, click More ( ) on the right of the record, then choose Remove Device.
The license is revoked from the device, and CleanMy® PC installed on that device is deactivated.

Use this method if you don't have a MacPaw Account.

License Manager is a tool that helps you retrieve your CleanMy® PC license if you can't find it or don't have access to the computer where the app is installed. It also lets you cancel activation if you've already uninstalled CleanMy® PC.

Go to the license management page.
Enter the email address you used to purchase your CleanMy® PC license or an activation code (license key), then click Search.
If the associated email address is found, it'll appear on the page.
Click Send Access Link next to the email address.
Check your inbox for an email from MacPaw Inc.—click Manage My Licenses.
The license management page opens in your browser.
On the license management page, find your CleanMy® PC license and click Reset next to it.

Done! You've successfully deactivated your CleanMy® PC license on one computer and can now apply the activation code on another computer.
