of installing the office suite on

00:00:25

five different devices using the same

00:00:27

license whether at work or at home,

00:00:29

so you can switch from your computer

00:00:34

To transfer any files,

00:00:35

the viewing is done automatically

00:00:37

The button below allows you to view the

applications you have in your offer,

00:00:56

but also to manage a

00:00:58

different connected devices.

00:01:00

This is where you can select which

00:01:02

computers to disconnect from your profile.

00:01:04

For example, if you change laptops,

00:01:06

if your 5 licenses are already in use.

Note,

00:01:37

as in this situation here that you do
