15.4.6.3 Exporting licenses

Before changing the license server, export the licenses from the license server that you plan to

change (p. 384). All licenses are saved into .xml file. Later on, you can import (p. 384) these licenses

to a new license server.

To export licenses

1. Click Export licenses to XML.

2. Specify the file destination (and optionally, the file name).

3. Click OK to save the file.

15.4.6.4 Removing licenses

To completely remove a license from the Acronis License Server, select it from the list of available

licenses and click Remove license on the toolbar. To remove a license that is in use, you need to

revoke (p. 385) it first.

15.4.6.5 Revoking licenses

Revoking makes used licenses available again. You may need it in the following cases:

 A component that requires a license (such as an agent) is uninstalled from the machine.

Revoke the license from the machine either before or after uninstalling the component.

 A managed machine is taken out of service permanently.

Revoke the license from the machine either before or after taking out the machine.

Make sure that revoking and subsequent reusing the license does not contradict the license

agreement and other legal requirements.

To revoke a license:

Expand the required product and then expand the key.

 If the license key is used by a single machine, click Revoke license on the toolbar.

 If the license key is used by multiple machines, click Show machines that use the license. In the

appearing window, select the host from which you wish to revoke the license (see the Host name

column) and click Revoke license.
