Assign and Release Licenses

Normally, fixed licenses are assigned to a "workstation" when you enter the license key. This means that the license is valid for the product installed on this PC. However, it is also possible that the license was not assigned to a worksta­tion when it was entered or that a license is to be transferred from one work­station to another. The latter requires that the license is first released from its original workstation. After that, you can assign it to another workstation.

Enable the Edit Mode

You must switch to the edit mode in order to release and assign licenses. To do this, click the "Switch license overview to edit mode" button in the License Overview.

Normally, this button appears as a closed lock. In this state, you can only view the licenses but cannot modify them.

The icon changes to an open lock when you click this button. The "edit mode" is enabled in this state. This means that you can modify the licenses.

Depending on the configuration of your License Server, a dialog can display at this point, prompting you to enter a password. The user name displayed and the password were assigned during installation of the License Server or set in "Settings > Password". In this case, you can enable the edit mode only after you enter the password.
