The SpecView license can be moved to another computer:
For a USB License Dongle:
The license can be moved to another computer by following these steps:
• | Exit SpecView on the current computer |
• | Disconnect the dongle from the current computer |
• | Install SpecView on the new computer |
• | Connect the dongle to the new computer, wait a few minutes to allow Windows time to recognize the dongle |
• | Run SpecView on the new computer |
Note: Do not disconnect a USB License Dongle while SpecView is running because this will cause SpecView to give an error and stop communicating with the instrument(s).
For a Soft License:
If the old computer is still running, then follow the procedure below. However, if the old computer has failed, see Replacing Licenses.
In Runtime or Edit Mode, from the Help menu, choose Move License and then Move license FROM this computer:
A confirmation box will be displayed:
This opens an additional confirmation box that requires "YES" to be typed into the Answer box:
This process will remove the license from this computer and give an Installation Code to be entered into SpecView on the new computer to move the license.
On the new computer, after installing the SpecView software, run it and click the Enter License Code button to enter the license installation code that was made in the previous step.
The license now needs to be Activated.
At this point, the old computer will be running as a demo. This is a good time to make a backup Archive of the project so that it can be Restored onto the new computer.
