Activate vs. Deactivate

Activating a PC for Musicmatch® Downloads is a simple process of signing up. Once your PC is activated you'll be able to purchase and download tracks immediately. It's important to remember that it's the PC that is activated, and there are some important limitations if you should ever decide to deactivate it.

Deactivating a PC means you no longer want to use that PC for Musicmatch Downloads, either for downloading tracks, or listening to previously downloaded tracks. Deactivating a PC prevents you from downloading from the Musicmatch Download service, and prevents you from listening to tracks that you've downloaded from the Musicmatch Downloads service in the past.  Furthermore, deactivating a PC is permanent! Once you deactivate a PC it will never be able to play Musicmatch Downloaded tracks again. Therefore, deactivate PCs with caution and a little foresight on where to transfer your existing Musicmatch Download tracks. You may still play MP3 files, and other files not downloaded from the Musicmatch service.

You may have 5 PCs Activated for Musicmatch Downloads at any given time.
