How to Transfer Your Dragon License to a New Computer

Upgrading to a new computer is exciting — faster speed, better performance, and more storage. But if you’re a Dragon speech recognition user, you might be wondering how to move your license and keep all your voice profiles intact. At Dragon Support Services, we help users make this transition smoothly so you can get back to dictating without disruption.

How to Transfer Your Dragon License to a New Computer

Step 1: Deactivate Your License on the Old Computer

Before uninstalling or wiping your old computer, it’s important to deactivate your Dragon license. This step tells Nuance’s activation server that your copy is no longer in use on that device, freeing it up for a new installation.
To deactivate:

  1. Open Dragon.
  2. Go to Help → About → Manage Licenses (or Dragon → License → Deactivate in some versions).
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the deactivation.

If your computer has already crashed or you’ve lost access, don’t worry — our team can help you recover your license through official Nuance channels.

Step 2: Install Dragon on the New Computer

Once your license is released, download the correct Dragon installer from your Nuance account or installation media. Run the setup file and enter your serial number when prompted. Make sure your new computer meets the system requirements for your Dragon version — sufficient RAM, a quality microphone, and updated Windows or macOS versions ensure optimal accuracy.

Step 3: Restore Your Voice Profiles

If you want to keep your custom vocabulary, commands, and settings, you can export your voice profile from the old system:

  • Open Dragon → Manage Profiles → Export.
  • Save it to a USB drive or cloud storage.
  • On your new computer, use Import Profile to restore it.

This preserves your personalized training and eliminates the need to start from scratch.
