General Information

If required, a VE license can be transferred from one license server to another.

Please note:

• This action will remove the license from the original license server.
• The transfer operation will fail for an expired license.
• Since the license is removed from the original license server by a successful transfer operation, the transfer command for an already transferred license cannot be repeated on original server (unless the license is re-imported before).

Steps to Transfer a License

The steps below describe the license transfer to another server:

1. Become the root user on the license server.

2. Export the transfer license from the original license server:
   VE version before 2.4.9:
     # /opt/license-server/c2v -t <export-file>.tfr
VE version 2.4.9 or later:
  # /opt/charon-license-server/c2v -t <export-file>.tfr

   You will receive a warning message:
   
   Confirm by entering the string yes, or abort by entering any other input (submit the input using the RETURN key).

   
   
3. Create a C2V file on the destination license server (this step is required even if source and destination server are the same):
   VE version before 2.4.9:
     # /opt/license-server/c2v-f <destination>.c2v -p <platform>
VE version 2.4.9 or later:
  # /opt/charon-license-server/c2v -f <destination>.c2v -p <platform>


4. Send both files (the TFR and the C2V file) to Stromasys (email address will be provided by Stromasys).
   
   
5. You will receive a V2C file.
   
   
6. Import the V2C file on the destination license server:
   VE version before 2.4.9:
     # /opt/license-server/v2c -f <new-v2c>.v2c
VE version 2.4.9 or later:
  # /opt/charon-license-server/v2c -f <new-v2c>.v2c


7. If the address and/or passphrase of the license server has changed, adapt the configuration of the license client with the new license server data.
