Transferring a License

23.08.2021

a) License without a USB key

Before transferring a local software license from one computer to another, deactivate it on the original computer and then reactivate it on the new system. This procedure requires that you have an active maintenance agreement with Weisang for the license.

1.Click on File > Info > License Manager and make sure that the Local tab is active.

2.In the License Manager, click Deactivate.

3.In the dialog box that appears, click OK to confirm that you want to deactivate the license.

4.You can now install the license(s) on another computer by reusing the product key.

b) License with a USB dongle

This type of license is not tied to the computer, but is instead tied to the USB dongle. This means you do not need to deactivate the license.

1.Insert the USB dongle into an available USB port on the computer to which you would like to transfer the license. As soon as you have an Internet connection, Windows will automatically download and install the driver for the USB dongle. Your other option is to install the driver manually. More information about this is available in the document Installing and Using the FlexPro License Manager. If Windows can read the dongle correctly, a red LED lights up on the dongle.

2.Now all you have to do is transfer the license that is tied to the dongle to your computer. You can do this online by entering the product key that came with the dongle in the FlexPro License Manager on the new computer and then clicking Activate. Alternatively, you can copy the license file from C:\ProgramData\Weisang\FlexPro\FlexPro.lic to the same folder on the new computer.
