General Information

If required, a VE license can be transferred from one license server to another, for example, if the original license server must be re-installed or re-configured in a way that would invalidate the license.

Please note: this action will invalidate the license on the original license server.

Steps to Transfer a License

The steps below describe the license transfer to another server:

1. Export the transfer license from the original license server:
   # /opt/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).
2. Create a C2V file on the destination license server:
   # /opt/license-server/c2v -f <destination>.c2v -p <platform>
3. Send both files (the TFR and the C2V file) to Stromasys (email address will be provided by Stromasys).
4. You will receive a V2C file.
5. Import the V2C file on the destination license server:
   # /opt/license-server/v2c -f <new-v2c>.v2c
6. If the address of the license server has changed, adapt the configuration of the license client with the new license server address.
