How to transfer a license to another GoodSync account

You have two options for transferring a GoodSync license to another account:

  1. If you no longer use the account associated with the license
  2. If you plan to continue using the current account

If you no longer use the account associated with the license

1) Log in to the current GoodSync account that holds the license.

3) Scroll down to the "Available Device Licenses" section and click "Delete" next to the license you want to remove from the account.

If no licenses are listed under "Available Device Licenses," go to the "Assigned Device Licenses" section and click "UnAssign" next to the device currently using the license. After the license is unassigned, it will appear under "Available Device Licenses" and can be deleted from the account.
