change hdd with ssd

[Salcip]

Hello everyone, as from title I intend to replace the hdd of my laptop with a ssd to improve its performance. This means that I will have to reinstall operating system and all programs, including catechism.
what I would like to know is: is there a way to use the same license on the new ssd?

depending on what type of license or not of windows and what type of motherboard you have that allows you more or less changes, you could clone the old hd on the new one....mezzoretta and install nothing. If catia uses the hd hardware code you need to ask the assistance what you need to do to transfer the license.

Thank you very much for the answer. I will try to contact the assistance hoping to solve this problem!

I usually clone the windows operating system by removing the drivers first ...
It's a little laborious, but it works.
then you have to fix the licenses that generally see hardware change.
Hi.

first of all thanks to all for the very useful answers. I finally managed to solve the problem, I bring back here the steps to do, maybe they can be useful to someone in the future.
method 1: make hdd cloning (as suggested by gerod) through a software provided by the ssd manufacturer if this software is not provided you can use method 2;
method 2: I press that I do not know all the modalities of buying caia, I have a digital version, if there is a physical version (dvd) I do not know and therefore I do not know if this method also works in that case.
for those who own a digital version you have to make a clean installation of catia (among other things I noticed that if updated versions have been published from the date of purchase you can also download those). Then you have to extract a .zip file called “target-id” within it is a .exe that will generate a new license key. access the catia site, click on your private area and go to the “download center” section, in this section, below, you will find in green the old key is a note that tells you that catia is activated, in the appropriate section you will have to copy the new key and click on “active”. in a short time there will be an email happy with an attachment. download the attachment, then in the windows search menu you have to search for the “nodelock key management” program (it is a program that is installed together with catia so surely it will be present on your pc) in this program you will have to import the attachment that has been sent to you by email. made this cat is ready for use!
