Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, enable software application transfer among connected computing devices. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request, corresponding to an application running on a first computer, to operate the application on a second computer; initiating a communication session between the first computer and the second computer over a network; disabling the application on the first computer with respect to one or more operational parameters; and enabling the application on the second computer with respect to the one or more operational parameters. The one or more operational parameters can include a software licensing state of the application, current application data of the application running on the first computer, or both.
