Move Your License Between Devices & Computers

When you activate your license, Moneylender will check out the license onto your computer. If you need to move your license, you can deactivate it from the Whitman Tech store so it is free to activate again.

To deactivate your license so it’s available for activation:

1. Login to your account at the Whitman Tech store.
2. Click "Manage Activations" on the right, under the Moneylender download button.
3. Click "Deactivate" next to the computer that no longer needs Moneylender.
4. Open Moneylender on the new computer and enter your store login to activate.
On a deactivated computer, Moneylender will go back to running as a demo until you activate it again.

Moving Your Loan Data from One Computer to Another

All your records (loans, payments, borrowers, etc.) are stored in your portfolio file(s). These are totally separate from your license key, and won't automatically show up on the new computer as soon as you activate your license there.
You need to copy your portfolio files from the old computer to the new one, and then open that file to see your loan data on the new computer. You might copy the files by: putting them on a USB thumb drive; using a cloud folder like DropBox, OneDrive, iCloud, or Google Drive to transfer them through the internet; emailing them to yourself.
Your portfolio files will have a .mlp3 extension. By default Moneylender will suggest you put them in the Documents\Moneylender Portfolios folder, but you're allowed to save them anywhere you want. If you really don't know where they are, you can search for *.mlp3 in the Folder Explorer to scan multiple folders or even a whole hard drive for portfolios.
Next to your portfolio you will likely see a .index file with the same name. You can copy or ignore that file. If the index is missing, you'll see the "File Maintenance" window when Moneylender opens the portfolio as it creates a new index from scratch.

Examples When It’s Allowed & Not Allowed To Move Your License

You want to use Moneylender from a laptop on the road, you can move your license over to the laptop, and then put it back on your main computer when you return from your trip.
Your computer gets messed up and you need to reinstall Windows and all your programs. It’s totally ok to activate your license again.
You get a new computer and want to move Moneylender onto it (and you’re not going to be using Moneylender on your old computer anymore). Also totally normal, reactivate your license as needed.
If you have several people using Moneylender from their computers, and you have them deactivating each other to make Moneylender active for themselves, this is not allowed. You need to buy a separate license for each user/computer.
If you have five people logging into a single computer to use Moneylender simultaneously, you need to buy five licenses, even though only one license will be activated. That’s the per-user part of the user/computer licensing requirements.
