Since the license is locked to specific hardware, the process of transferring a license depends on the type of license you have.
If you are using a dongle, all you need to do is unplug the key from the computer where it is no longer needed and plug it into the one where it is. When you start the software it will look for this key and provided the version number is allowed will start. See HASP License Troubleshooting article if you have any problems with this.
In the case of soft licenses, it's a little more complicated and you will need to use the License tool and some way to transfer files from between the computers where the license will be installed and where it will be activated (e.g. USB storage device).
Open the License Tool on the computer where you want to install the license to start a 3-step process that will:
- Create a fingerprint for the computer where you want to install the license.
- Reconfigure the license from the computer where it is currently installed based on the fingerprint for the destination machine.
- Install the license on the destination machine.
Start by installing the software and License Tool on the destination computer if not yet installed, then open the License Tool.
Click the + sign for more options and click on Transfer License.
Then, click on Prepare for License Transfer.
You will be prompted to select where to save the ID file for your computer. Make a note of the saving location and then transfer this file to the computer where the license is currently installed.
Open the License Tool on the computer where the license is currently installed, click the + sign for more options and click Transfer License.
Select the license to be transferred from the list of available licenses and then Select.. to load the ID file created previously. Click Transfer to create the new license key that can be transferred to the destination computer (H2H file).
Finally, copy the H2H file over to the destination computer, open the License Tool, and again go to Transfer License. Click Install License and select the H2H file that was just transferred.
