Deleting ORcade X from previous device

I recently downloaded OrCAD X on a Windows device but encountered issues running it on my MacBook. To address this, I attempted to install it on Parallels Desktop on my Mac. However, I was unable to proceed because I have exceeded the allowed installation attempts.
I would like to uninstall OrCAD from the previous device and transfer the license to my Mac. Could you please guide me on how to properly deactivate or uninstall OrCAD on the old device?

    I think you're using evaluation licensing.

    Good chance you need to sign up for a new evaluation installer. 

    I don't think evals use MAC addresses for entitlement like a paid license.
