If you wish to move the hardware key, and hence the license server, to another machine, ensure that the clocks on the two computer are approximately the same (within ten minutes), then do the following:
- Make sure that no Sonnet programs are running on the PC.
- Stop the license manager. For how to do this, see Stopping the License Manager.
- Move the hardware key to the desired machine.
- If Sonnet software was NOT installed on the new machine as a license server, uninstall and reinstall the software on the new machine.
For uninstall, see Removing an Older Release after Installation. To reinstall, do Step 4: Loading the Software.
- Select Sonnet 17.xx - Sonnet from the Windows desktop Start menu to invoke the Sonnet session window.
- Select Admin - License from the main menu of the Sonnet session window.
- Click on the “Local” radio button and browse to select the “sonnet.lic” license file sent to you by Sonnet.
- Click on the OK button to close the dialog box and apply the changes.
- If the new machine does not have the driver for the hardware key installed, please see the Driver Installation Guide for FlexNet ID Dongles in our FlexNet Guides.
- For each client machine in your network on which you run Sonnet, you must run the Admin - License command and select the “Remote” option. The name of the new license server should be entered.
- Start the license manager on the new machine. For instructions on how to start the license manager, see Starting the License Manager.
