Moving/Deactivating your Home Download

Moving/Deactivating your Home Download

You can disable a Home Download licence by 'deactivating' it (removing it). This then enables you to 'activate' the program on a different computer.

To deactivate your licence:

  1. Sign in to the program using your Wordshark/Numbershark Administrator details (name and password)
  1. Select ‘Admin’ from the top menu bar
  1. On the dropdown option select Advanced features / Deactivate


  1. When prompted enter your Licence Key: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx to deactivate the licence

If Automatic Deactivation Fails:

Please note if automatic deactivation fails (as described above) then choose ‘proceed with manual deactivation’.
  1. On the next (deactivation) screen click on the link  www.wordshark.net/Deactivate.html 
  2. If clicking the link does not take you to the deactivation website then copy and paste the url straight into a browser (on the same or different device).
  3. Your deactivation ID will be shown - click OK
  4. Once deactivation has been successful, you must RETURN to the deactivation screen and click OK to fully deactivate the licence.
