Move licenses between license servers

You can transfer an on-premises license from one license server to another. Moving licenses can be necessary, for example, if you are switching to new hardware or if you want to consolidate licenses from several workstations to a central server.

The information on this page is not valid for online licenses.

  1. Deactivate the licenses that you want to move in the Tekla License Administration Tool on the computer that currently contains the licenses.
  2. If the license entitlement certificate file containing these licenses is not available on the other computer, find the EntitlementCertificate.html file that contains the license and copy it to the computer on which you want to activate the licenses.
    • Entitlement certificate files are sent over email. In the installation instructions, we recommend storing the entitlement files in the license server installation folder (..\Tekla\License\Server\), from where you can copy it to the same folder on the other computer.

    • Rename the files as necessary to avoid overwriting different entitlement certificate files with each other.

    • There can be several licenses in one file, so you can activate different licenses on different computers using the same entitlement certificate file.

  3. Activate the licenses in the Tekla License Administration Tool on the other computer to complete the move.

We recommend that you back up the trusted storage (..\ProgramData\FLEXnet\) in a safe place away from the computer running the license server. Backups can help you restore your licenses on the same server if active licenses are accidentally erased.
