Re-licensing is necessary under the following circumstances:
When upgrading from an Evaluation License to a Commercial License (see
).
When a new License option or new License type (other than an upgrade from an Evaluation License) is
purchased (see
Re-licensing for a New License Option or Type
).
With a major upgrade of the IDENTIKEY Appliance, for example from version 3.0.2.0 to 3.1.3.1 (see
With a change in IP address (see
Re-licensing for a Change of IP Address or Replacement
).
When a back-up is restored to a different IDENTIKEY Appliance, for example in the case of a replacement
IDENTIKEY Appliance (see
Re-licensing for a Change of IP Address or Replacement
).
When an IDENTIKEY Appliance has been restored to Factory Default to remove all data and clean the appliance
(see

a License has already been uploaded and is operational.
2. Under certain conditions, time restrictions are imposed on licenses, after which services are
stopped and only administration is possible, for example:
–
An Evaluation License is only valid for 45 days.
–
A grace period of 30 days is imposed, for example in the case of a replacement appliance
(see 11 Replacement).
