License Lifecycle (FNP)
Licenses have a lifecycle that extends beyond activation and fulfillment (license delivery). Different events at your end (e.g. purchase of new machines, crash of a hard disc…) can affect the lifecycle. The following kinds of license change management are supported by the ETAS License & Download Portal:
-
Retrieve an exiting license key (e.g. if the old one is lost due to accidental deletion etc.). For more information, see How can I retrieve a license key for an existing and activated license?.
-
Specify a new license server Host ID, a new MAC address or a new Windows User Name for a license (e.g. when you replace a computer or assign a license to another user). For more information, see Rehost and Return.
-
Consolidate existing licenses into one license file for easier management. For more information, see Consolidation.
