Transfering an MCL-Net V4 License

Overview

 

There are two MCL license products available - a "standard" MCL-Net license (MCL-Net Std) and a "professional" MCL-Net license (MCL-Net Pro), each with its own services.

An MCL-Net Pro license with a currently enabled MCL-Support service provides the additional service of license replacement.

For instance, if you have installed/activated an MCL-Net Pro license (with active MCL-Support) and the PC/server it is installed in malfunctions, you can transfer the license to another PC/server.

License replacement is not a perpetual service, it can only be performed a limited number of times.

 

An MCL-Net Pro license replacement requires:

•the canceling of the MCL-Net Pro license in your MCL-License Manager account (to dissociate the license from the PC/server it was installed in).

•the reactivation of the MCL-Net Pro license (to install/activate the license in another PC/server).

 

 

License Replacement is only available for MCL-Net Pro licenses with an active MCL-Support service for a limited number of times.

It is NOT possible to perform the same procedure with MCL-Net Std licenses.
