It is recommended not to delete the license file during uninstallation or overwrite an existing license file when the product is installed again.
• | In case the license file is still on the system, the trial version will just continue using the expiry date calculated when the trial version was installed |
• | In case the installer package contains the license file and overwrites the existing file, the trial period is not prolonged as this information is kept on the system (per module). The trial version will just continue using the expiry date calculated when the trial version was installed |
• | In case the license file is downloaded (default) a new download is blocked |
To allow a new installation or make a new test from scratch, the following steps are required
• | You need the System ID of the MAC or name of the computer |
• | Delete the license file |
• | On the Activation Server 4, search for this System ID of the MAC or name of the computer (TAB Home) |
• | Click on the System ID and change the field: Maximum Key / ID Usage |
If you do want to allow a reinstallation, you can change the default value 1 on the Activation Server 4 (Administration / Setup, Product Configuration).to a higher number.
After a license file download, the evaluation version starts again
• | The same restriction applies like for the trial version (see above) |
• | The user can activate the version again using the same Serial Number in case reactivation is allowed - see project configuration |
• | In case the license was transferred, the user can activate the version again using the same Serial Number as long as the Serial Number was not used on another computer |
