# Manage License Key

### Access the License Key Manager

You can access the License Key Manager from the user dropdown in the app.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Important:** You can also access the License Manager via this URL <https://app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders>.
{% endhint %}

### Deactivate the License Key From a Device

There are two ways to deactivate a device from your license key.

#### Option 1: Manage Devices Page

Visit <https://app.seoutils.app/manage-devices> to view and deactivate all devices activated on your license — even devices you no longer have access to.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Enter Your License Key and Email**

Enter your license key and the **email address used to purchase** the license, then click **"Continue"**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify Your Email**

A verification link will be sent to your email. Click the link in the email to verify ownership. The link expires in 10 minutes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your session is remembered for 30 days, so you won't need to verify again on the same browser.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Deactivate Devices**

You'll see a list of all devices activated on your license. Click **"Deactivate"** next to any device you want to remove.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the license key owner (the email used during purchase) can access the Manage Devices page. This prevents unauthorized deactivation.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Expired license:** the page lists your devices under a **This license has expired** notice. Lemon Squeezy does not release the devices of an expired license, so **"Deactivate"** works again once you [renew it](#renew-your-license-key). To use another license key on one of these computers now, deactivate the license from the app on that computer ([Option 3](#option-3-from-the-app-on-this-computer)).
{% endhint %}

#### Option 2: From the Lemon Squeezy Dashboard

To deactivate the license key from your current device and activate it on a new one, go to the [License Key Manager](#access-the-license-key-manager) and follow these steps.

#### Option 3: From the App on This Computer

Open the user menu, choose **License Manager**, and find **Deactivate license on this computer**. This frees the activation slot so the license can be used on another computer; SEO Utils stops working here until a license key is activated again.

Click **"Deactivate license"** to confirm, or **"Keep it activated"** to go back. Your reports and data on this computer are not deleted.

{% hint style="info" %}
If Remote Access is on for this computer, the dialog also reminds you that browser access ends immediately and that your Remote Access plan is not cancelled. See [Remote Access](/guide/remote-access.md#deactivating-your-license-on-this-computer).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**An expired license key cannot be activated again until it is renewed.** If your license has expired, the dialog shows a red warning and asks you to tick **I understand this license key cannot be activated again, here or on another computer, until it is renewed** before **"Deactivate anyway"** becomes available. Use **"Renew license key"** first if you plan to keep using SEO Utils.
{% endhint %}

For an expired license, **"Deactivate anyway"** removes the key from this computer so you can enter another license key right away. Lemon Squeezy still counts this computer as one of the license's devices until the license is renewed.

If the expired key cannot open your version of SEO Utils, the app shows **You Don't Have Access to This Version!** instead. Click **"Deactivate the expired license key"** on that page to open the License Manager.

### Renew Your License Key

To renew your license key please visit this URL <https://app.seoutils.app/renew-license-key>.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You can re-activate your license on new devices as long as it’s valid. However, once it expires, re-activation is no longer possible due to Lemon Squeezy’s system.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Renewed a license you deactivated from the app?** Enter the same license key on the same computer. SEO Utils takes back the device that computer had, so you do not need to free it in Manage Devices first.
{% endhint %}
