You must replace the old floating license key with a new one if:

  • You upgrade products to the new version that uses the floating license.
  • The Ethernet Address (Host ID/Target ID) of the machine on which the FlexNet license server is installed changes.

 

To replace a license key

  1. Add the license key to the FlexNet license server (or use the alternative*).

  2. Restart the Vendor Daemon - Cameo:

    1. Connect to the FlexNet License Server management Web interface.

      The default address is http://localhost:8090/ or use your server name (http://<server name>:8090)

    2. Click the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab.
    3. In the Vendor Daemons list, click the desired daemon and start in again.
    4. Save changes.

* You can copy the new license key directly to a specific location in the floating license server installation folder rather than importing the file by using lmadmin. Use this method as an alternative if you cannot import the license key.

  1. Go to the folder the new license file is stored in and copy the file.
  2. Go to <floating license server installation directory>\licenses\cameo and paste the file.

  3. Connect to the FlexNet License Server management Web interface. Use the default address (http://localhost:8090) or your server name (http://<server name>:8090).

  4. Sign in as the administrator.
  5. On the left side menu, click Vendor Daemon Configuration.
  6. In the appropriate cameo vendor daemon row, click the Administer button.
  7. Click the Reread License Files button. If the license file is successfully imported, you will see an appropriate message on the webpage.
  8. Check the active licenses (see the following procedure).
  9. If the active licenses are not updated, please restart the floating server.

 

To check active licenses

  1. Connect to the FlexNet License Server management Web interface. The default address is http://localhost:8090/ or use your server name (http://<server name>:8090).
  2. Open the Dashboard.
  3. Click Concurrent. All active licenses are listed in a table.
