Rehosting allows you to move a license from one machine/host to
another.
Prerequisites
Rehosting is available only with:
-
an active maintenance contract for perpetual licenses or
- an active subscription license
If your maintenance contract is currently not active, we are unable to
process a rehost request. Note that the maintenance grace period is 30 days
and applies only to renewing maintenance; it does not permit rehosting
without active maintenance. For assistance, contact your dedicated account
manager or our Support team for more information.
Possible Solution
Contact our Support team with the following details:
- Serial number
- License key
-
Computer ID (CID) for rehosting a node-locked license
-
Security ID (SID) for rehosting a Local License Server license
Below you can find instructions on how to find the information you need to
provide:
Serial number
-
From the product IDE, open Help | About | Installation Details | TASKING License.
-
From a command prompt, you can use the option
-V.
For example, if you are using the TASKING TriCore
VX-toolset, use ctc -V .
License key
-
The 16-character node-locked license key can be found in the file
<installation-directory>\etc\licopt.txt.
-
The license key of your local license server can be found in the file
licdopt.txt (default
location:
C:\Tasking).
Computer ID (CID) for rehosting a node-locked license
Download and run the GetCID program on the new computer.
Security ID (SID) for rehosting a Local License Server license
1. Install the TASKING Local License Server on the new server.
