Moving the Intel® Software License Manager involves many of the same steps as performing the initial install. It will prevent license checkout until the steps are completed.
- Download the Intel® Software License Manager User's Guide.
- Determine the hostname and host ID for the new server. Instructions here.
- Log into the Intel® Registration Center.
- Download the latest version of the Intel Software License Manager and copy it to your new server.
- Modify the host information for your license by following the instructions here.
- Download your new server license to your new server. The default folder used by the license server is /opt/intel/licenses/ for Linux* and [Program Files]\Common Files\Intel\ServerLicenses\ for Windows*.
- Download the client license file.
- Run the license manager installer according to the instructions in the User's Guide and provide the new license file\folder.
- After starting the license manager (lmgrd) process, make sure that the lmgrd and INTEL vendor daemon ports are not blocked by a firewall.
- Update the client machines to access the new server. Check the INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.
- If it uses port@host, change them to the new server. Most likely only the host needs to change.
- If it contains a path, check the path for the floating license. Remove this floating license, and replace it with the client license file downloaded from the registration center in step 6.
