6. Deactivation

Please do not forget that before removing the plugin, reinstalling the system or changing the computer, you need to Deactivate the key through the Dehancer interface of the version with which you activated the key (License Info button). Using this method, you can make an unlimited number of Deactivations.

7. License compatibility

  • Each product has its own License. For example, Dehancer Grain plugin can be activated only with the proprietary Activation Key. The Key for Dehancer Pro will not work (although the Grain tool is included in Dehancer Pro).
  • Each License includes two Activation Keys for two seats (workstations) that can be activated and deactivated independently.
  • License compatibility between different OS. Each Activation Key can be used independently on any operating system for which this Dehancer product exists.
  • License compatibility between different host applications. Each Key is suitable only for the certain host application. For example, if you already own a Dehancer plugin for DaVinci, you can’t use this License for Final Cut Pro Dehancer plugin activation.

Attention!
Dehancer Photo plugin for Ps / LrC / C1
 includes two separate installations – for Adobe Photoshop and for LrC / C1. Both installations share the same Activation Key.

8. License upgrade
