Rehosting FlexNet Embedded licenses

It is possible to move licenses between FlexNet Embedded license servers.

Note: Changes will not apply to the server without synchronization (online server) or upload the license file (online and offline server).

Procedure

  1. Go to the Advantest License Portal: https://license.advantest.com/ and login.

  2. Go to the License Management tab.

  3. In the "Re-host Licenses" section, select Re-host Licenses.

  4. Select one of the following options (re-host based upon the license server or based upon an entitlement):

    • By license server - a list of license servers IDs is displayed

    • By entitlement - a list of entitlement IDs is displayed

  5. Select a license server or entitlement as appropriate and click Continue.

  6. Enter the Re-host count (number of licenses that you want to re-host) and click Continue.

    Fill all - enters Re-host count for all available licenses (visible with the filter).

    Clear all - reverts the selections to the original values on the initial license server.

  7. Review the re-hosting summary.

  8. When you are sure that the information has been entered correctly, click Apply License Count Changes.

    The Download license files page is displayed.

  9. If your license server is connected to the internet, synchronization with the back office with server viewer's synchronization tab, or perform the command sync-fne-server, or wait the automatic synchronization in every 12-hour.

    If the license server is not connected to the internet, download or email the zip file and upload it with the server viewer's Offline server update tab to remove the licenses from the server. After removing the licenses from the server Download the confirmation file on the server viewer's Offline server update tab. The confirmation file needs to be uploaded to the Advantest Licensing Back-Office to confirm that the licenses have been removed from the server in the next step.

  10. If the license server is connected to the internet, close the Removal Confirmation dialog box.

    If the license server is not connected to the internet, click Upload in the Removal Confirmation dialog box (if you have closed the Removal Confirmation dialog box accidentally, you can do the upload via Upload Removal Confirmation File (offline server only) on the License Management tab).
