# Find My License Key and Edition

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

When MotiveWave is running you can find your license key by choosing the "Help" menu and selecting "About".

Another method to find your license key is on the startup screen by choosing "Options" and then selecting "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.
