You cannot directly transfer a license from one PC to another, but you can return your licenses to

NavisWorks Ltd. in order to Request them from another PC. Returning a license effectively kills it on one

PC and gives you a credit in NavisWorks Ltd.'s system so that you can request the same license from

another PC. Please note that you cannot return just some modules and leave others on the PC. If you

wish to transfer just some of your JetStream modules, then you have to return them all and request them

individually again from the PC's on which you want to use them.

To return your license:

• Go to Return License from the License Wizard menu and check the Confirm box before clicking on

Next.

• Your serial numbers and contact details should have been remembered by the License Manager, but

if not, complete the next two forms again and click Next.

• You have two methods by which to return your license, which are the same as the registration

methods. See Connection Methods for more information on these options in order to choose how you

would like to return your license.

Note

If you return your licenses via a license request file, the license file returned to you (by email or

download) will need to be Accepted (see the section called Accepting a License) on the machine

returning the licenses, to complete the return license process. If successful, you will receive a

message advising "License Returned".

Once your licenses have been returned, JetStream will no longer run on your PC, but you will be able to

Request them again from any other PC in your organisation (note that the JetStream End User License

Agreement forbids you to "loan, rent, sell, sublicense or otherwise transfer the Software Product and/or

documentation to third parties"). To install your licenses again, follow the steps in Section 2.3, “

Requesting and installing a JetStream license ”.

2.6. License Types

There are two types of JetStream license: Fixed and Floating.

1. Fixed licenses. These are licenses locked to a single machine and sometimes called stand-alone

licenses. Each client PC must be individually licensed.

2. Floating licenses. These are concurrent licenses served from a server. A license is needed for each

client PC that will access a floating license at the same time. For example, if you have 10 floating

licenses installed on the server, then any 10 client PCs can be running JetStream at the same time.

2.7. Served licenses

2.7.1. Served licenses overview

JetStream served (floating) licensing allows you to set up and manage all or some of your licenses on a

server and access them from client PCs, giving you simpler, more central management of NavisWorks

licenses. Setting up NavisWorks served licenses is a two stage process - first you have to install the

licenses on the server and then you have to connect to the server from the client PCs that will be using
