This article explains how to move a Net Express license from one machine to another.

Problem:

How can a Net Express license be moved from one machine to another machine?

Resolution:

In order to move a Net Express license from one machine to another, the product license on the old machine must be revoked. This is done automatically when the product is uninstalled. To generate a manual revoke key, follow these steps:


  1. From the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Net Express > Configuration > License Management System. The License Management System Configuration window should appear.
  2. Check your product and its components.
  3. Click Revoke license.
  4. Using the generated license key, go to the Licensing Solution web pages at http://supportline.microfocus.com/licensing/LicensingHome.asp to generate your own product revoke/deactivation key.

After installing the product on the new machine, the product must be activated using a request key. To generate a request key, follow these steps:


  1. From the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Net Express > Configuration > License Management System. The License Management System Configuration window should appear.
  2. Check your product and its components.
  3. Click Generate full license.
  4. Using the generated license key, go to the Licensing Solution web pages at http://supportline.microfocus.com/licensing/LicensingHome.asp to generate your own product activation key.
  5. Use the response key generated from the License Solution web pages to activate the product.
