    **Email support.** Deactivating removes the product key from this machine, but it does not by itself free up the activation on your licence.

    If you need to deactivate licences in order to reuse them on other machines, contact the Draftable support team at [support@draftable.com](mailto:support@draftable.com). We will provide the right steps and confirm once the activations are available again.
