Rehosting Licenses - Lexmark C792 Administrator's Manual

Rehosting licenses

Activating purchased licenses associates the server license and each printer license with the Host ID of the load
balancer and generates license files that will only work with that load balancer. If the load balancer is transferred to
a new computer, printers are moved to a different server system, or the network adapter is changed in the load
balancer, the applicable licenses must be reallocated to the new Host ID.
1
Open the Lexmark Licensing portal at http://software.lexmark.com.
2
Type the Entitlement ID you received when you purchased your licenses, and then click Login.
3
Click Manage Licenses.
4
Select a license, and then click Rehost.
5
Replace the existing Server HostId with the Host ID of the new load balancer. For more information about
determining the Host ID, see "Activating LDD licenses" on page 22.
6
Type the number of licenses to rehost in the Rehost Count field:
•
When moving a server license, always use 1.
•
When moving all printer licenses to the new server system, use the number shown beside Fulfill Count.
•
To move only some of the existing printer licenses to the new server system (known as a partial rehost), enter
a number less than the number shown beside Fulfill Count.
7
Click Rehost.
The new license will be shown. If you are rehosting only some printer licenses, a second Fulfillment ID will be
shown.
8
If you are rehosting all licenses, click Save To File, and then save the new license file to a folder accessible to the
new Education Station server.
If you are rehosting only some of the printer licenses, you must replace the license file on the original server
system:
a
Note the Host ID for the license file associated with each Fulfillment ID shown to determine the server system
with which each of the new license files is associated.
b
Click Save To File while viewing the license for the original server system, and then save the new license file.
c
Click Save To File while viewing the license for the new server system, and then save the new license file. Use
a different name or folder from the license file for the original server system so that you do not overwrite it.
9
Click Complete.
Note: When moving all licenses, this procedure must be completed once for the server license, and a second
time for all printer licenses.
10
Delete the replaced license file on the original server.
Note: The default location for licenses in use is C:\Program Files\Lexmark\Solutions\licenses\.
11
Launch Lexmark Management Console for the new system in your Web browser, and use the procedure listed in
"Adding an MFP, e-forms virtual printer, or software client license to an existing server" on page 63 to add the
new license.
12
If you are rehosting only some of the printer licenses, repeat step 11 for the original server.
