Transferring host-based licenses

A license dedicated to a particular host can be reassigned to a different host as needed.

To transfer a host-based license to another machine:

1. On the license server machine, launch the License Server Control Panel:

   • Windows platform: do one of the following:
     • Double-click the TestArchitect - License Server icon in your Windows notification area.
     • Select Start Menu > All Programs > TestArchitect > License Server.
   • Linux platform: do one of the following:
     • Double-click the TestArchitect - License Server icon in your notification area.
     • From a terminal window, navigate to /usr/local/logigear/licenseserver/licenseserver and run the TestArchitect License Server executable.
   • macOS: Note that the TestArchitect License Server is not currently supported on macOS.

2. Right-click a node representing a dedicated host-based license.

   Important:
   This node is in either the Universal License or Agent License subtree of the Host-based License tree.
   
   

3. Select Transfer Host License.

4. In the Change Host-Based License IP dialog box, enter the full host name or IP address of the new host to which you want to grant a dedicated license, then select OK.

   Note:
   If you use the full host name of the machine, ensure that the machine is connected to your working domain.
   
   

The host-based license is rescinded from the original host and is now available for the new host to use.
