In FastManager, go to ''Help'' -> ''Reset License''

<note tip>You can do this on ANY computer that has FastManager installed.  \\
//Doing this will actually reset all your licenses,//
  * Existing installs will automatically re-verify in the background the next time that FastManager is restarted. But any unused licenses will be available so that you can register any new installs
