Identifying protected devices

[Hotpants]

Hi, I have a subscription covering 4 devices. If I log in and look at the devices, they are identified as DESKTOP-PS21B17 etc. Is there any way on the PC in question of finding the reference? The subs were taken out in 2019. Reason I ask is I have decommissioned one licence which I thought was for a mobile and transferred it successfully to my new Android. However, my PC is now saying I do not have a licence and I have no spare, so I need to check which of the other 3 devices are so I can decommission one and reapply to my main PC. The other licences are on laptops.

Many thanks,Hotpants

The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
   •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
