You can verify the version of License Manager by navigating to Control Panel and selecting Programs and Features. The installed AVEVA Enterprise License Manager, AVEVA Enterprise License Server, or AVEVA Enterprise Licensing (licensing platform components) version displays in the Version column.
Note: Licensing platform components are installed with every product, whether or not a License Manager or a License server are installed on that node. These components display in Programs and Features as "AVEVA Enterprise Licensing".
The following table describes different upgrade scenarios of AVEVA Enterprise Licensing to the latest available version. In some upgrade scenarios, licenses will enter the grace period. You can resume normal licensing functionality when the grace period ends. Refer to AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Help, Work with the grace period for more information.

Product Node Upgrade Scenarios |
Description |
|
Upgrade a product on the same node as an installed version of License Manager of earlier version. |
License Manager and the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing components will upgrade to the latest version automatically. |
|
Upgrade a product on the same node as an installed version of License Server of earlier version. |
License Server and the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Components will upgrade to the latest version automatically. |
|
Upgrade a product on the same node as installed versions of both License Manager and License Server of earlier version. |
License Manager, License Server, and the AVEVA Enterprise Licensing Components will upgrade to the latest version automatically. |
|
Upgrade a product on a node that has no License Manager or License Server installed. |
The AVEVA Enterprise Licensing components will upgrade to the latest version automatically. Will not result in an automatic upgrade of License Manager and License Server installed on remote nodes. You must upgrade your License Manager and License Server separately on the node where each is installed. |
|
Upgrade to the latest version in Hyper-V and Azure virtual machines. |
The license server will enter the Grace Period upon upgrade. End this grace period by syncing the licenses in the License Server. Important Note: To avoid entering the Grace Period, deactivate all licenses on the license server prior to upgrade in this scenario. |
|
Licensing Version Upgrade Scenarios |
Description |
|
Upgrade from version 3.0 to the latest version. |
The license server will enter the Grace Period upon upgrade. End this grace period by syncing the licenses in the License Server. Important Note: To avoid entering the Grace Period, deactivate all licenses on the license server prior to upgrade in this scenario. |
|
Upgrade - from all versions to all versions. |
If the license server is in a Grace Period prior to upgrade, it will remain in Grace Period following upgrade. To end the Grace Period after upgrading, you will need to contact Technical Support to obtain a Grace Period exit code. To avoid this scenario, end the Grace Period before upgrading to a newer License Server version. The license server will not enter a Grace Period upon upgrade. |
Note: You can resume normal licensing functionality once the Grace Period has ended. Since all licenses should be removed from the server prior to ending the Grace Period, no licenses will be lost due to this action.
