Reactivating Adminstudio On A Different Computer - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 ZENWORKS EDITION Installation Manual

Reactivating AdminStudio on a Different Computer

AdminStudio uses a security technology known as the Activation Service. With this licensing software, the user of
the installed product is required to "activate" via communication with a Flexera Software-hosted server. This
process enables the product to work on a single, unique computer at a time, while disallowing simultaneous
installation on other unauthorized systems.
If, after installing AdminStudio on a computer, you get a new computer or reformat the hard drive on your existing
computer and then reinstall AdminStudio on that new computer or reformatted hard drive, the serial number you
initially entered will no longer activate AdminStudio. Because you have already used that serial number to activate
an installation of AdminStudio, it is now deactivated.
To reactivate your serial number, you need to first deactivate the license on that machine through a full uninstall
before it can be activated on the new machine. Deactivation requires an internet connection to communicate with
the server to properly free up a different machine for activation.
Note • If you are unable to perform a full uninstall of AdminStudio (because, for example, you no longer have the
computer you originally installed AdminStudio on), you need to contact AdminStudio Sales to have them authorize a
new activation.
