Windows Control can run on up to three (3) computers/devices at a same time with the same license. To be able to use Windows Control on more than three (3) computers/devices, Windows Control must first be deactivated on one (1) of the other computers/devices. When you purchase Windows Control, you will receive a License Activation Key for the software in the Order Confirmation e-mail. When Windows Control is run for the first time, the License Manager will start. The License dialogue box will show the actual software icon for the license that is being handled. Your License Activation Key can be found in the Order Confirmation e-mail.
Note: If Windows Control is already downloaded on your computer, start at step 1. If Windows Control is not already downloaded on your computer, start at step 5.

Setting up a local account in Windows 11 is trickier. Microsoft initially offered a way to choose an offline account with Windows 11 Pro, but that option has since been removed. Windows 11 Home has never given you the ability to use a local account. Still, there is a workaround for both editions of Windows.
