Question

How to transfer LiMAN Licenses between the Virtual Controllers?

Customer Environment

vSZ/SZ/SCI/vSPoT

Troubleshooting Steps

Some VM host operations such as adding memory, cpu or hard disk space may cause the serial number to change.

The new serial numbers need to be registered in the Liman license server and all licenses including RTU (Right to Use), AP capacity, Support entitlement need to be moved to the new Serial Number.
This can be accomplished using the License RMA process.
