Service Mode Item Used to Invalidate a License for Transfer to a Different Device
(Category 2)
Possible Situation
A license may be used on a different device through transfer, as when replacing the device
at the end of a lease agreement. To do so, the user must first invalidate the existing license
by performing a set of steps referred to as "invalidation of a license" using service mode. At
times, both source and target of transfer may be the same device, and a license therefore
may also be invalidated only temporarily. It is important to note that the user must contact
the Sales Company to make a license good regardless of whether it has been invalidated
intentionally or inadvertently.
Invalidation Procedure
Invalidation consists in invalidating the license in service mode and generating an
invalidation certificate that proves the completion of invalidation. Invalidation may take
place for individual optional functions, and a specific function becomes no longer available
as soon as an invalidation certificate is issued. The user contacts the Sales Company and
provides the following: the invalidation certificate, the device serial number of the source
of transfer, the device serial number of the target of transfer, reason of transfer. In response,
the Sales Company may issue a license key for new installation on a different device. The
user must take note of the new license key in writing, and keep it as a record after registering
it to the target device.
Installation Procedure
