Hi,
I've Netexpress VER 5.105.0076 installed on Pc running Windows XP service pack 3.
I'm planning to:
- Upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7.
- Upgrade Netexpress ver 5.105.0076 to 5.1 ver 5.108.0030
I need to RETAIN Netexpress ver 5.0 from my pc to keep the license, but to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 cannot be done according to Microsoft rules.
Therefore I have 2 methods to do that:
- Method 1 :
- Using Windows Easy Transfer for XP to transfer settings and others from Windows XP to Windows 7
- Install New Fresh Windows 7 ((formatting the HDD))
- Use Windows7 Easy Transfer to get that settings and others, here Netexpress 5.0 license should be within these settings !!??
- Method 2 :
- Upgrade from Windows XP to Vista
- Upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7
Then I will install the following:
NXP325.106.0079.exe ((Wrappack 6)): the complete installation
NXP325.107.0047.msp ((Wrappack 7)): to update the previous installation
NXP325.108.0030.msp ((Wrappack 8)): to update the previous installation.
Kindly which is the best and saved method which will not damage my Netexpress License?
Hi Shatty,
the handling of your Net Express license is independent from your Windows version.
So, install Net Express 5.1 on the new computer in this way:
At first Wrappack 6 (full installation) and after that Wrappack 8 if you wish, but better the latest Wrappack 13.
Explanation: Wrappacks are cumulative and include the contents of the previous Wrappacks.
Handling of your license in few words:
You have to free your old computer from the Net Express license, that's generate a Revoke Key. Very important: make a note of this Revoke Key! On the new computer you have to generate a Request Key. Login to the Micro Focus Supportline website and with both Keys you can request Micro Focus to send you a new licence key. choose: De-Activate / Activate my Product ( Revoke / Request Keys )
You will get a email with the new key and enter it on the new computer.

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for reply, Really I don't want to use Revoke,, I restricted to use Retain,,, this means my license must be still in my PC,, that's why I mentioned 2 methods in my previous post
