Here are the steps:

1.Open the software and select License... from the CAM Main Menu. The License dialog will then display.

2.To release your license to run on another machine, select one of these options from the License dialog:

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Your cloud license automatically resets every 8 hours. If you are running the license on more than one computer and forget to release your license, just wait 8 hours and it will release automatically. Likewise, if your computer fails or becomes inoperable, your license will release automatically after 8 hours.
