The Transfer utility (TRANSFER.EXE) allows the user to transfer
the license for the protected application between machines via the License Key.
In order to transfer the license from one machine to another, the user must run
the Transfer utility on both machines. Assume you want to transfer the license
from machine A to B, the steps are described below.
1. Run the Transfer utility on
machine B. The dialog box provides a Registration ID.
2. Run the Transfer utility on
machine A. Then, enter the Registration ID provided by machine B. In this step,
the utility generates the License Key that encodes the current license status,
and destroys the Key on the machine.
3. On machine B, enter the
License Key provided by machine A. The license transfer is complete.
Since the above transfer method requires an exchange of the
Registration ID and License Key, the two machines should be within close
proximity to each other. If one of the machines is located on a remote site, it
is more practical to transfer the license through the Activation Server.
When the automatic activation option is enabled, the Transfer utility
allows the user to deactivate the license via the Activation Key. In this case,
the utility can connect to the Activation Server to perform a license
deactivation request. The current license status is encoded into the License
Key, and sent to the server automatically. Then, the Key on the machine is
destroyed. After license deactivation, the user can run the protected
application or the Register utility on another machine to activate (or
retrieve) the current license from the server.
