De-Authorizing DP

[bayswater]

I have DP authorized on an iMac and a MBP. The limit is apparently two authorizations.

I want to install and authorize it on a different partition on the iMac, and once it is working, remove it from the first partition. I have to keep this first partition working, so I'll have to de-authorize the MBP. I'll want to authorize the MBP again when all is done.

The question: what happens when you go to authorize a third installation? I don't see anywhere in DP to de-authorize it first. Are we on the honour system here? Or is there a way to de-authorize?

As I understand it, the license manager deauthorizes your older installs when you authorize it again.

You shouldn't have any problem unless you try to run multiple copies simultaneously.

mikehalloran is right.
Your oldest authorized system will automatically be de-authorized, as soon as you authorize DP on a third system.

So if you have three systems, your licenses just "cycle" through them.

Thanks. So I'll have to authorize by main setup again because that was the first one I installed. And I gather that nothing happens to old installs if you're off line.
