How to Switch BOFC Licence from one Salesforce org to another org?

Switch BOFC Licence From One Salesforce Org To Another Salesforce Org

Switching your Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) license from one Salesforce org to another is simple and takes only a few minutes. Whether you’re moving to a new environment, working with multiple clients, or managing sandbox and production orgs, BOFC provides flexible license management based on your subscription plan.

This guide explains how license switching works and shows you the exact steps to move your license safely and quickly.

Can You Switch the BOFC License Between Salesforce Orgs?

Yes — most BOFC plans allow you to use the license across multiple Salesforce orgs. However, each plan has limits on:

  • The total number of orgs where the license can be installed
  • The number of orgs where the license can be active at the same time
  • Whether the license can be moved (portable)

Before switching your license, it’s important to understand your plan limits.

BOFC License Usage by Plan

Each BOFC plan defines how many Salesforce orgs you can use and how many can be active simultaneously.

Plan Total Orgs Allowed Active Orgs at the Same Time License Portability
Starter Plan 2 orgs Only 2 orgs NA
Basic Plan Up to 5 orgs Up to 2 orgs Yes
Professional Plan Up to 15 orgs Up to 5 orgs Yes
Enterprise Plan Unlimited orgs Up to 20 orgs Yes
One-Time Plan 1 org 1 org only NA

When Do You Need to Switch the BOFC License?

You may need to switch your license in the following situations:

  • Moving from Sandbox to Production
  • Migrating to a new Salesforce org
  • Starting a new client project
  • Replacing an old or inactive org
  • Reaching the active org limit for your plan

Switching allows you to continue using BOFC without purchasing a new license.

Step-by-Step: How to Switch the BOFC License

Follow these steps to move your license from one Salesforce org to another.

Step 1: Log in to the Current Salesforce Org

Sign in to the Salesforce org where the BOFC license is currently active.

Then:

  • Click App Launcher
  • Search for Bulk Object Field Creator
  • Open the application

Open Bulk Object Field Creator

Step 2: Go to Settings

Inside BOFC:

  • Click Settings
  • Locate the license section

You will see the option:

Revoke Access & Back to Free Version

This option releases the license from the current org.

BOFC Home page

This option allows you to release the license from the current org so it can be used elsewhere.

Step 3: Revoke the License

Before switching:

  • Copy your activation key
  • Click:

Revoke Access & Back to Free Version

After this step:

  • The current org returns to the Free Version of BOFC
  • The license becomes available for use in another org
  • You can activate it in a different org immediately

Revoke access & back to Free Version

Step 4: Open the New Salesforce Org

Log in to the Salesforce org where you want to activate the license.

Then:

  • Open Bulk Object Field Creator
  • Go to Settings

Revoke access

Step 5: Activate the License in the New Org

Now:

  • Paste your activation key
  • Click:

Activate Full Version

Your license will be activated in the new org within seconds.

Goto BOFC Home

Just copy the license key from notepad or from the email send by BOFC admin & place it in this highlighted box and click “Activate Full Version”

Important Rules Based on Your Plan

Starter Plan

  • License can be active in up to 2 orgs at the same time
  • No need to revoke unless both org slots are already in use

Basic Plan

  • License can be installed in up to 5 orgs
  • Only 2 orgs can be active simultaneously
  • Revoke from one org if the active limit is reached

Professional Plan

  • License can be installed in up to 15 orgs
  • Up to 5 orgs can be active at the same time

Enterprise Plan

  • License can be installed in unlimited orgs
  • Up to 20 orgs can be active simultaneously

One-Time Plan

  • License works in only one org
  • License cannot be transferred or switched

Common Issues When Switching Licenses

License Already in Use

This usually happens when:

  • The license is still active in another org
  • The org limit has been reached

Solution:
Revoke the license from an existing org and try again.

Activation Key Not Working

Check:

  • Extra spaces when copying the key
  • Correct Salesforce org
  • Valid license status

Best Practice for Managing Multiple Orgs

If you frequently work across multiple Salesforce environments:

  • Keep track of active org usage
  • Revoke licenses from unused orgs
  • Use higher-tier plans for multi-org projects
  • Activate licenses only when needed

This helps avoid activation conflicts and ensures smooth license management.

Conclusion

Switching the BOFC license from one Salesforce org to another is a quick and flexible process designed to support teams working across multiple environments. By following a few simple steps — revoke the license, log in to the new org, and activate — you can move your license and continue working without interruption.

Understanding your plan limits ensures you manage licenses efficiently and avoid activation issues.
