Reuse of License

[Krystler_Cataniag]

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking of buying a license, however is the license can be use to another machine? right now, im using a low-end hardware for the server, but will upgrade or build a new home server pc in the future. is the license reusable/transferable to another machine?

Yes, you’re licenced based on the number of concurrently configured instances. You can move instances around between machines as much as you like.

another question about licensing…dont want to open a new thread for this, but I didnt find the answer.
I bought new hardware for my amp server and switch license from old to new this weekend. Do I need to deactivate the license at my existing server to move it to the new one? I oonly want 1 server at a time of course…do I need to uninstall AMP or do something with licensing to be able to “free” the license for my new server? I´m on Ubuntu, not on Windows

thx in advance

I’m a new user myself, but when searching the forums for the same question, I found a reply by Mike answering that activated instances will eventually be pruned for inactivity.

It’s a good thing, because because while figuring out how to move my server to a new pc, I activated almost 10/15 of my slots when I only need 2/15.

How are license Activations determined?

Deleting an instance doesn’t immediately free up the activation, it happens some time later. The specifics of this aren’t disclosed. The licencing system uses a soft limit to allow for instances being removed and re-used. So if you reached 15/15 instances, it wouldn’t immediately stop you from creating new instances. Basically - unless you get an email from the licencing system complaining about excessive usage, don’t give it any thought.
