Transfer a license to another installation

If you

  • reinstall your BMS software on a new computer or virtual machine

  • make major hardware changes on your BMS server 

  • move an existing virtual machine to a new host system

the purchased license has to be removed from the existing installation. This step is required to get a new license for the new BMS installation.

Warning

Note: The following step invalidates the current license. The BMS Server will not be stopped, but it cannot be restarted anymore! In order to ensure the further seamless operation of the new or changed system, it is important that you can receive the new license immediately. This is only possible during business hours, why it is strongly recommended, before the next step, to check whether NETxAutomation is able to promptly send you the new license. For it, get in touch by e-mail (office@netxautomation.com). If you do the following step out of business hours (weekend, holidays,…) you have to consider a waiting time until you get the new license.

To generate the removal code, open the License Manager (Core Studio > Info > Menu → Info → License Manager ...) and click Transfer / Remove License.

Due to security reasons a second button Remove License now and a popup window appear. Image Removed

Click OK to generate the removal code.

Warning

After this step the BMS server will not start againServer cannot be restarted!

The License Manager now shows the removal code:

Send the removal code to register@netxautomation.com. 

Note

The removal code is required in order to get a new licence issued.

To get the  license for the new or changed system, follow the steps of section 949617461 abovesection above.

Extending an existing license (additional data points, clients or extensions)

Existing licenses can be extended at any time, both as softlock and hardlock licenses. To do this, send a request to office@netxautomation.com stating the existing license ID and information about the desired changes.

After processing the purchase (offer, order, invoice) you will receive an upgrade file for Hardlock licenses by e-mail. For a Softlock license, you must remove the existing license and send a new license request to NETxAutomation - in the way as it is described in the license transfer section above.
