  2. Click on Deactivate License and enter information to deactivate. Make sure Deactivation is successful.
  3. Install product on the new machine using your original License Number and CD Key
  4. Run the software. On the Authorization screen, please click on Request Authorization and enter your information to activate the product.

Notes:

To move your custom content that resides on a workstation, copy the following folder from the old workstation and paste it to the same location on the new one:
%AppData%\Transoft Solutions

 

For Network Installation:

Server

  1. On the current server, run License Server Admin Tool (from Start Menu, product folder), confirm Host (server name) and Port (27099) and click OK.
  2. Choose your product from the drop-down list and click on Select to open the License Information dialog.
  3. On the License Information dialog, please click on Deactivate License and enter information to deactivate the license on the current server.

  7. To point each workstation to the new License Server, start the Configuration Utility that is located in the program folder on the workstation and update any relevant information, or run workstation installer from the new server in order to update and redirect workstation to the new license server.

In addition to the above steps, please note that you should also move Usage Report files from the old server to the new one. Those files are stored in License Server\Archive folder. If you have installed License Server in the default path, you will find Archive folder in the following location on the old server, and should copy it to the new server to License Server\Archive folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Transoft Solutions\License Server\Archive

 

For AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro products, if you have enabled Data Sharing option during the old and the new server install, and would like to move server database from the old server to the new one, please note that you would need to do the following.

  • On the old and the new server please go to Start -> Run, type services.msc and when Services window is open, please right click on “Transoft Solutions Data Sharing Service V1.0” and select Stop.
  • Please copy TransoftServerDB.db from the old server from C:\Program Files\Transoft Solutions\Data Sharing Service\Data and place it on the new server in the same folder, overwriting the existing file (if your Data folder is not in default location, please adjust the paths accordingly).
  • On the old and the new server please go to Start -> Run, type services.msc and when Services window is open, please right click on “Transoft Solutions Data Sharing Service V1.0” and select Start.
