Before you replace parts on your computer, make sure you have a record of your license key then deactivate GuardedID®. You can see your license key in the “Manage | Manage License” by right-clicking on the “G” in the task bar. Write down the long string of characters and dashes shown in the license field. Then use the tool to deactivate GuardedID®.

Once your computer is repaired or parts replaced, simply click the “Activate” button in the GuardedID® icon or toolbar, enter your license key, and click “Activate”. GuardedID® will start protecting your computer.
