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
Tekla subscriptions.
-
Deactivate the licenses that
you want to move in the Tekla License
Administration Tool on the computer that currently contains the licenses.
-
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.
-
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.
