Solidworks License Server Migration 2019

Hello

I want to migrate my license server to a new server.

I installed the license server on the new server and everything seems to work, but when retrieving licenses from a workstation, I don't see a license in the new server.

thank you for your help

Hello

If you don't see the licenses on the new server, it may be because the licenses are still on the old one.

Try this.

On the old server, you need to:

- Make sure no licenses are used!

- stop the service

- return licenses.

On the new one:

- resume licenses

- start the service (if it didn't start on its own).

On the workstations, you must also change the reference server (indicate where the new one is), in SolidNetWork Client Manager License, tab "Server lists":

- add the new one (e.g. 25734@mon-new-server)

- and to avoid any problems, personally I delete the old server (e.g. 25734@mon-old-server).

I did this last week following an internal server change, it went very well.

Alexander.
