How to move a license between servers

Using the License Manager to move between servers

To move a license between two servers using the License Manager, please follow these steps.

This process may also been needed when IP addresses or hostnames are changed on a system and these are being used as the Host Id.

There is a limit on the number of times that a system may be deactivated in order to prevent abuse and denial of service issues with the licensing system. This is usually configured to be two deactivations per year. When the limit is reached an error will be reported. Please contact support@deltaxml.com to request a temporary increase when needed.

Return license

Expand the list of systems for the appropriate purchased product, and select the required system to return the licence by clicking the Return link. Confirm your selection and this will remove the Host Id ready for the new host to be activated.
