# Moving the Key to Another PC – LumiScan Licensing

Licences on the LumiScan Key are not bound to a device. You can exchange a key between different devices at any time; one key is needed for each device on which the software runs at the same time (see [One key per device](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-licensing/1.0.1/lumiscan-key.html#one-key-per-device)).

To use LumiScan software on another PC:

1. Close all LumiScan applications on the current PC.
2. Remove the LumiScan Key.
3. On the other PC, install CodeMeter Runtime 9.00 or later (see [Installing CodeMeter Runtime](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-licensing/1.0.1/installing-codemeter.html)) and the LumiScan software.
4. Connect the LumiScan Key and start the software.

You do not need to contact HD Vision Systems or request a licence update to move the key.

> [!NOTE]
> For apps bought in the ctrlX Store and running on Windows 11, the licence is held in ctrlX WORKS. Moving that licence to another PC follows the Bosch Rexroth rules for ctrlX WORKS. The LumiScan Key itself moves as described above.
