# Find/Update License details

## About Dialog

You may need to find your license details to install MotiveWave on another computer or for support reasons. You can find your license key in two places.

From the startup screen, select "**Options**" then "**About**".

A screen will pop up showing you your license key (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx), your email address, the license type (own/lease), edition, MotiveWave version, and finally the Java version.
