Transferring a Netspark License to a New Device
Transferring a Netspark License to a New Device
Netspark licenses are unique and tied to a single device at a time, ensuring optimal protection and preventing misuse. Transferring your Netspark license requires careful steps to avoid issues, such as overriding the existing installation, which can disrupt internet access or filter functionality. Follow this guide to safely transfer your license to a new device.
Key Points to Note
- One Device Per License: A Netspark license can only be installed on one device at a time. Attempting to install the same license on a new device will result in an error notification.
- Notification and Options: If your license is already active on another device, you’ll see a notification during the installation process. You can choose to:
- Remove Netspark from the Old Device: If the previous device is still accessible, uninstall Netspark first to release the license.
- Override for Lost or Broken Devices: If the old device is lost, broken, or factory reset, follow the instructions below to proceed.
- Avoid Data Transfer Tools: Tools like Samsung Smart Switch or similar cannot transfer Netspark correctly. Permissions and configurations are device-specific and must be set up anew.
Transferring a License for Lost or Broken Devices
Start the Installation on the New Device:
- Download Netspark Mobile from the Play Store or use the link provided during account registration.
- Begin the installation process.
Respond to the Notification:
- When notified that the license is already active on another device, choose the option to proceed with installation.
Enter Your Admin Password:
- For security, enter your admin password. This confirms your authority to revoke protection from the previous device.
Finalize the Transfer:
- The server will revoke uninstall protection and deactivate the license on the old device.
- Complete the installation process on the new device by granting all required permissions.
Best Practices for Smooth License Transfers
- Factory Reset Devices: If you plan to reuse a device, factory reset it to clear existing Netspark configurations before installing the license on a new device.
- Keep Your Admin Password Secure: You will need it for overriding licenses tied to lost or broken devices.
- Contact Support If Needed: If you encounter any issues during the transfer process, Netspark Support is here to help.
With this process, you can ensure a seamless transfer of your Netspark license to a new device while maintaining the security and integrity of your filtering setup.
