Licence Protector 5

This feature allows to move / transfer a license with activated copy protection from a PC A to PC B. This is only necessary, when the PC, where the license file is stored, has to be replaced or a user wants to switch between a PC and notebook.

 

If a network PC with a license per PC or per User is replaced, this license can be deactivated within the License Viewer - see Deactivate a network license.

 

A license can only be transferred if the software was already activated. If the license is in evaluation mode, then no transfer is possible.

 

If the transfer was successful on PC A, then the license is sent to the Activation Server 6 and the local license is locked (tamper detection ensures that a restore of a license file, which was saved before the transfer was done, results in an error)). The user can now install the application on PC B and use the old Serial Number again.

 

Depending on the type of workflow you are using, there are 2 different implementation options for transferring a license.

 

•Transfer a license using EasyGo

•Transfer a license with custom-made screens

•License transfer during uninstallation of the application

 

 

In case a license transfer is not possible (e.g. because the PC was formatted) a manual license deactivation can be done on the Activation Server 6.

 

•In order to be able to use this feature you need the Activation Server 6

•A good idea is to automatically do the license transfer during the uninstallation of the application
