How Do I Transfer CCleaner to New Computer?

CCleaner is one of the leading utilities for computer users around the globe. It has a free version, and two paid versions, which open up extended options for users. However, a common problem is when a user wishes to use CCleaner on another computer or wishes to transfer it to them. This article will identify and diagnose that problem and present two viable solutions for it.

CCleaner is known for removing invalid registry entries, cleaning up junk, clearing unnecessary bulk, and removing duplicate files. That's why it has become one of the leading utility programs you can find in personal and professional computers over the years.

However, the problem arises when users try to transfer CCleaner to another computer. Since it's a program that allows thorough customization, people wish to transfer CCleaner to a new computer without losing their customization. So, let's find out how you can do that.

CCleaner is a computer utility made by Piriform developers. It was primarily made to clean up unwanted files from computers, namely browsing junk and bloated files. However, over the years, it has developed into a full-fledged computer-health utility, which allows you to:

• Clean up System files such as memory dumps and Check disk file fragments.
• Clean up browser history such as IE, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.
• Clear Windows Explorer files such as Recent Documents, RUN history, and Thumbnail Cache.
• Optimize PC performance by updating drivers.
• Registry cleaning to ensure quick start-up times.
• Other tools like a Software updater, Uninstaller, Duplicate Finder, Disk Analyzer, etc.

These factors make it a total package for computer control and PC health-related stuff. Therefore, once you set it up, you'd want your license and configuration to go with you if you’re migrating your PC.

That's one of the main reasons people would want to transfer CCleaner to their new computers. So, suppose you're wondering how to transfer my CCleaner license to another computer. In that case, this article will tell you just that in two different ways.

1. Transfer CCleaner to New Computer by Software

Step 4. Select apps, programs, and software and transfer to the target computer

1. You can select and choose what you want to transfer from the current computer to the target PC.

2. After selecting desired applications and programs, click "Transfer" to start the transferring process.

2. Transfer My CCleaner License to Another Computer

Transferring your CCleaner license to another computer manually can be a complicated task. Because without a proper tool, there's no way to transfer your program as it is to another computer. So, you'll have to install CCleaner on your PC fresh. Here’s how:

Step 1. Head to CCleaner.

Step 2. Download the build according to your license.

Step 3. Open the downloaded EXE file and finish the installation

Once you do, here's how you can refresh your license:

Step 1. Launch CCleaner.

Step 2. Navigate the sidebar and find Options.

Step 3. Navigate the newly expanded section and find the License Key section at the bottom.

Step 4. Enter the license key you have.

Step 5. Done.

If this is a bit complicated, then there is another easier way to register your CCleaner using the My Account option. Here's how you can do that:

Step 1. Open CCleaner.

Step 2. Navigate the top bar and find My Account.

Step 3. Click it, then click on Activate License.

Step 4. Add license key and activate your CCleaner.

Step 5. Done

Remember, both these ways of activating your CCleaner into a new computer requires you to have your license key. So, if you can't find it, then you can always retrieve it through CCleaner's channel. Once you do, you can follow one of these two processes to activate your CCleaner.

FAQs

The process mentioned above is bound to raise questions in your mind. Here are two frequently asked questions to additionally address any concerns.

1. Can You Use CCleaner on Multiple Computers?

If you have CCleaner Professional Plus, then it's valid for up to three computers at a time. However, CCleaner Professional (Non-Plus) version supports only one PC at a time. The price difference isn’t that much either, as the non-plus is around $25, whereas the Plus version is around $40.

Therefore, if you wish to use it on more than one computer, you'll have to upgrade your license to Professional Plus from Professional.

2. How to Find CCleaner Product Key?
