License Rehosting

Introduction

DSS license rehosting is the process of moving a license from the MAC address to which it is currently locked to another MAC address. This is occasionally necessary if the DSS software is being moved to a new server to upgrade software or hardware or possibly if the current DSS server has had a problem and required a network card change.

A license can only be rehosted 3 times. If there is an attempt to move the license a fourth time the customer receives an error message. If the customer receives this error and they feel they have a valid reason to rehost the license they should contact licensing support at the web site mentioned above and request special permission.
