Primary server co-located with License Manager

If the License Manager and the primary License Server of a redundant pair exist on the same computer, and you have renamed the computer, you will see a message when starting License Manager that the computer has been renamed, and that you need to take additional steps to restore access to your licenses. In this scenario, it is assumed that the backup computer is remote from the primary.

Reactivate licenses after renaming a redundant primary server

1. Deactivate all licenses on the server pair.

   The server ID automatically resets after you have deactivated all licenses on that server.

2. Unpair the redundant pair. For information about pairing and unpairing redundant servers, see Work with License Server redundancy.

3. Reset the server ID of the backup computer. For more information, see Reset License Server ID.

4. Re-pair the redundant pair with the new License Server ID.

5. Reactivate all licenses on the renamed server.

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