Transferring Your G5 Advanced License: What You Need to Know

A step-by-step guide for transferring G5 Advanced licenses between John Deere machines to maximize your investment and fleet flexibility.

Key Facts About License Transfers

  • Transferable Licenses: G5 Advanced licenses can be transferred to another compatible John Deere machine of the same type equipped with a G5 CommandCenter display.

  • Universal Flexibility: G5 Advanced Universal licenses can be transferred to other G5 Universal displays, supporting mixed or changing fleets.

  • Grow with Your Operation: License transferability means your investment continues to deliver value as your equipment needs evolve or new machines are added.

When and Why Transfer a License?

  • When upgrading or replacing an existing tractor, sprayer, or combine within the same machine series.

  • To temporarily move advanced features to a rental, backup, or demonstration unit with a G5 CommandCenter.

  • To maximize usage as field demands change, ensuring all key equipment always has the technology needed.

Step-by-Step Transfer Process

  1. Review Compatibility:
    Confirm that both the “from” and “to” machines are eligible—same machine type and equipped with the G5 CommandCenter or Universal display.

  2. Deactivate License on Current Machine:
    In John Deere Operations Center, under the equipment or display settings, follow prompts to deactivate or unregister the license from the old machine.

  3. Activate on New Machine:
    Using the serial number for the new machine or display, register and activate the license through Operations Center or the in-cab G5 display menu.

  4. Update Records:
    Ensure all new machine and display information is updated in your Operations Center account for seamless data and equipment tracking.

  5. Verify Activation:
    Check that G5 Advanced features are fully functional and available on the new machine, and rerun software updates if needed.
