    Hi, I have an IDL licence and I just purchased a licence maintenance for one year.

    First, it is installed on my machine and, if my understanding is correct, I can switch to another computer as many times as I want until the licence expires. But what happens once the licence expires, will I still be able to use IDL on the machine where it's installed or will it be deactivated?

    Second, I bought the licence a few years so I could install it on 3 different machines. I am no longer using one of the 3 but I would like to move IDL to a new one. Is it possible to do so ? How?

    Thanks.

    If your license is a standard IDL license, and not a time-limited student license, then it will continue to work after maintenance expiration on the system it was currently activated on. You will no longer be able to deactivate/reactivate the license to move it (this is considered a 're-host'). As for an older license, if it is not current on maintenance, it will not be eligible for a re-host to a new system.
