Many of Platforms products are licensed using
FlexLM which
requires you to contact Platform and aquire a new license key to move Platform
products from an existing enviornment to another.
Reasons for changing environments may include
hardware upgrades or splitting/consolidating products over various new environments to meet new business needs
Products in the LSF Family (such as LSF 6.1) fall under this requirement. Other
products such as Symphony do not. Before you continue with the License Change
process you must have the following available:
-
Access to the Current License Key that you wish to modify;
-
If doing a Product transfer (or rehost) you will need access to the FlexLM Host
information on the other enviorments involved. You will also require access to
any other license keys if the other environments are currently running Platform
Products;
-
You should have a clear understanding on what exactly you wish to do. If
transferring you need to understand how many environments are involved, if
upgrading you need to know what version you wish to upgrade to;
If you have any questions about licensing, feel free to contact
our
support desk.
