Change of license server

Scroll down to start reading the guide

1. temporary licenses

The server change is usually completed on the same day if the license file for the new server, sent from IronCAD , arrives before the end of the working day (depending on the time difference to the US). If you make the change after 2 p.m. (Swedish time), the new license file will usually arrive on the same day.

‍

If you need temporary software licenses (5 days), please send us an email stating the number of temporary licenses and the version of IRONCAD solidmakarna

‍

The temporary licenses can be activated on each of the clients according to the instructions we send in our email. If you do not need any temporary licenses, you can proceed directly to step 2.

2. old license server

Hi,

Can you please send me the license file for this Sentinel RMS Server?

Serial Number: NLUS20XX-xxxxxx

Disk ID: 0x4 xxxxxxxxxxxx

We have replaced our server. See attached pictures where the old license has been removed.
