cease to be valid, but could be transferred to another computer before the upgrade
and then back to the original machine after the upgrade.
On both the source computer (where the license is currently valid) and the
destination computer (where the license is to be transferred), open the server
application. Select Server | License to open the e-control Software Server –
Upgrade/Transfer License window (shown above). Make sure this window is active
on both computers.
Step 1. On the destination computer, create a preparation file on a diskette in the A:
drive by inserting a blank, formatted diskette and selecting Prepare Diskette. This
creates a file on the diskette which indicates who is receiving the license. A second,
backup copy of the file is also created. Alternatively, these files can be created on
another portable media (e.g. Zip disc) or a network drive by simply browsing for a
new file location in the save file window. If you plan to transfer via a network drive,
first make sure that both computers have the appropriate read/write access to the
drive and folder being used.
Step 2. After the above step has completed, remove the diskette from the drive and
insert it into the source computer’s floppy drive. Do not flip the write-protect tab; the
diskette must remain write-enabled. Click on the Transfer License button. The
source computer reads the preparation file to see which computer wants the license.
It encodes the license for the destination and writes it back to the same file on the
floppy diskette (or network drive). The source computer has now passed the license
to the file. Only the designated computer can use the license, so the server is no
longer licensed on the source computer.
NOTE: At this point in the transfer procedure the server license resides on a file on the diskette or
network drive, and not on the computer. If this file should become lost or damaged, the license is
lost as well. Because of this, please use the utmost care while performing this transfer.
Step 3. Bring the diskette back to the destination computer. Click on the Transfer
License button. The computer reads the license information off the diskette and
transfers the license to itself. The server is now licensed on this machine.
