Replace a Management Server POL-bound license with a different Management Server POL-bound license

If a component has a Management Server POL-bound license that bound to another Management Server, replace the license with a POL-bound license that is bound to the Management Server that manages the component.

For example, you might need to replace a Management Server POL-bound license with a different Management Server POL-bound license if you move an element from one Management Server to a different Management Server.

Steps

  1. Select Menu > System Tools > Install Licenses.
  2. Select one or more license files, then click Install.
  3. Select Configuration, then browse to Administration.
  4. Expand the Licenses branch, then browse to the correct type of license.
  5. If there is a previous Management Server POL-bound license bound to the element, right-click the old license, then select Unbind.
  6. Right-click the new license, then select Bind.
  7. Select the Engine to bind to the license.
  8. Check the license information that is shown and verify that all components you meant to license have the correct new license.
  9. Right-click any old licenses that might still be shown, then select Delete.
  10. Refresh or install the policy to transfer the license changes to the Engine.
    CAUTION:
    After you install or refresh the policy on the Engine, the license is permanently bound to the Engine and cannot be bound to any other Engine. Permanently bound licenses cannot be rebound unless you re-license or delete the Engine element that the license is currently bound to. When unbound, a permanently bound license is shown as Retained.
