[ARCHIVE] How to Rehost Activation Code(s) to a new computer (Activate and Deactivate)

Berangere Casson

Below are instructions on how to use the Harris License Administrator Tool to Deactivate and then Reactivate license activation codes on a new computer (called "re-hosting").

Note: You can only re-host a license if the licenses are current on maintenance.

To open the Harris License Administrator tool described in this section, use one of the following:

  • Windows: From the Start menu, select Tools > Harris License Administrator under the shortcut group for your product installation. Administrator privileges are required.
  • Linux: From a terminal window, launch the harrislicense command from the INSTALL_DIR/envixx/idlxx/bin directory. Sudo or root permissions are required.
  • Mac: From a Finder window, double-click the LicenseAdminstrator.app icon located under the INSTALL_DIR/envixx/idlxx directory. Administrator privileges are required.

Deactivate Licenses

Licenses remain activated on a computer until you deactivate them. Deactivating a license returns it to the Harris Download and Licensing Center. Deactivated licenses can then be used on another computer, by either the same person or another person. For example, if you receive a new computer and you want to install the software on it, first deactivate the licenses from the old computer. If you do not deactivate the licenses (and the old computer is no longer accessible to you), you will be unable to activate them on the new computer. If that occurs, Technical Support will need to deactivate the licenses for you.

To deactivate licenses:

  1. In the Harris License Administrator tool, click Deactivate Licenses.
  2. Use the check boxes to select the individual activation codes to deactivate, or enable the Select all check box to deactivate all activation codes.
  3. Click Deactivate.

 

Activate Licenses

To activate licenses:

  1. In the Harris License Administrator tool, click Activate Licenses.
  2. Enter (or copy and paste) the activation codes from your product order email into the text box provided. The text box allows one activation code per line; press the Enter key after entering each code to start a new line.
  3. Enter the Quantity of licenses you are entitled to.
  4. Click Activate. A message appears when the codes are successfully activated. To view details on the activated licenses for the computer, click View Licenses. See View Licenses and Feature Details for more information.
  5. Click Close to exit the tool.

Additional detailed information can be obtained by the license administrator on the D&LC.

Note: This applies to ENVI 5.4 and IDL 8.6 versions.
