UnlockTool Binded PC: meaning and how to switch computers

Binded PC in UnlockTool means your account is already tied to another computer. Depending on the build the message reads "Binded PC", "Current PC" or "bound to another PC". One license cannot run on two computers at once, and you can change the computer once every 6 hours — the official UnlockTool site states "Account login 06 Hours later can change PC".

Why Binded PC appears

UnlockTool binds the account to the computer of the last sign‑in. The error shows up when:

  • you signed in on a new PC before 6 hours had passed since working on the old one;
  • the program is still running on the old PC, including minimised to the tray;
  • someone else is using the same account from their own computer.

How to change the computer, step by step

  1. Fully close UnlockTool on the old computer — tray and Task Manager included.
  2. Wait 6 hours from the last sign‑in on the old PC.
  3. Sign in on the new computer (how to log in).
  4. If it still fails, confirm nobody else is using the account and that no background copy is running.

If the old computer is unreachable, contact support or the seller with your username and order number — never the password. For a clean, ready account use UnlockTool rental; see also common errors.
