Will my CCC 3.5, 4 or 5 license work with CCC 6?
No, CCC 6 requires a new license. However, if you purchased a CCC 5 license on or after February 18, 2021, we will grant you a FREE license for CCC 6. CCC 5 licenses purchased prior to February 18, 2021 are eligible for upgrade pricing.
I purchased a license for CCC 5 on or after February 18, 2021. How do I get my FREE CCC 6 license?
When you open CCC 6 for the first time, it will attempt to retrieve your new license using the details from your CCC 5 license. If this succeeds, you will receive an email containing your new license and details for applying the new license to CCC 6. If this does not occur (e.g. because your system can't be connected to the Internet), you can retrieve your license via our website.
