License Server remote from License Manager

If you rename a License Server installed on a computer separate from the computer on which License Manager is installed, that server will appear disconnected in License Manager.

Reactivate licenses after renaming a server remote from License Manager

1. Add a server to License Manager. See Adding and Removing a License Server for steps to do this.

2. Use the new computer name as the name of the server.

   License Manager will detect the computer and server, and will be able to access the server. A message will appear that the server has been renamed, and that you need to deactivate and reactivate your licenses on that server.

3. Deactivate all licenses on the server.

   The server ID will reset after you have deactivated all licenses on that server.

4. Reactivate all licenses on the renamed server.

For information about how to deactivate and activate licenses, see Activate and acquire licenses.
