ok to deactivate to reactivate?

[rob porter]

I've been using nitropdf for years. I'm on version 12 now. I just got the expired trial message again. A few weeks ago support had me remove nitro from my computer to reinstall fresh. Now getting the message again the activate tool took me to nitro site which is suggesting I deactivate. My concern is if I deactivate will that stop my coworker from being able to use Nitro on their system. The license lookup tool shows my S/N has 2 active installs with 2 allowed installs. We have work with a deadline so can't risk the project being interrupted. And btw- they had to do same remove and reinstall on their computer in last 2 weeks that I did on my computer. Please help

A single-user license can only be applied on two machines. 
You can use the license portal to release a license so you can activate Nitro PDF Pro on another machine. This will not stop the function of Nitro PDF Pro on the other machine. 
This portal is mainly used when you're not able to deactivate the license on the machine before changing/replacing the machine.

Thanks for the reply.

Right. We didn't add a new machine. My copy of nitro on my machine stopped working and gave me the trial expired message. This has now happened 3 times in the last month between our 2 machines. I want to make sure that if I deactivate on my machine now that it won't interrupt or deactivate the s/n as a whole and stop my colleague from working on nitro on her machine.

I purchased Nitro 7 and received a CD.  I upgraded to Nitro 12 Pro and did not receive a CD.  Nitro stops working periodically.  I can't seem to activate it by first deactivating it and downloading 12 again, and running it.  My serial number is 234***-******-******.  I have been using it for years,  and now I can't get it to convert anything to pdf.

I downloaded Nitro Pro 12 and activated it.  I load different word documents and try to convert them to PDF and it asks me where to store the PDF file.  I select a folder and then nothing is created and the Nitro screen disappears.  Same old problem.  I recently had windows 10 installed on my old windows 7 computer.

Can someone please help me?  I had a computer crash and so it won't allow me to find the deactivation certificate and it won't let me register the software without the deactivation certificate.  I am stuck and need help ASAP.  Can you email me at murrayinxxyyzzgency@gmail.com

Hello @Gerald Manriquez,

3. Close “Printers and Scanners”.

B. To clear the Spool queue:

2. Type net stop spooler then press “Enter“
3. Type del %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\* /Q then press “Enter“

The print queue on your Windows should now be cleared. Type exit, then press “Enter” to exit the command window.

C. Remove Nitro PDF Creator Drivers:

1. In Windows, type “printui /s /t2” in the Search on the Taskbar, and then click on “Run Command”. This should bring up the Print Server Properties window.
2. Click on the “Drivers” tab, scroll down until you see “Nitro PDF Driver 13”, and click on that to select it, and then click on “Remove”.

Now test the Nitro PDF Creator Printer and see if everything works correctly now.

I want to make sure that if I deactivate on my machine now that it won't interrupt or deactivate the s/n as a whole and stop my colleague from working on nitro on her machine.  The first time this happened the Nitro team suggested I remove the old and reinstall the new build you suggested to another user on this thread. And it worked fine until a few days ago when it gave the expired trial message again. So to be clear, should I de-activate and try to re-activate with same S/N or delete nitro from my system and reinstall the new build again? Second Q and very important is to make sure either action doesn't stop my colleague from continuing to use her installation of Nitro. Thanks so much for your help in advance!
