Make a Direct Transfer

Use this method to transfer a license to an unlicensed version of the group model that exists on a different PC on your network.

To perform a direct transfer

On the target PC, attempt to access the target copy of the group model (the unlicensed version) at least once, thus creating the license directory. Make sure that you close it before performing the license transfer.

Important! Never transfer a license to an open copy of CA Plex; it disables the license.

1. On the target PC, share the license directory of the target copy of CA Plex (Windows\Oblicense) with full permissions, so the license files can be copied.
2. Map the directory path for the target copy of the CA Plex license directory.

   Note: UNC path names are not supported; for example, \\MyServer\Windows\Oblicense. You must map to the target PC using a drive letter, for example, K:\Windows\Oblicense.

3. Log on to your host group model on the source workstation.

   5. On the Group Model window, select the licensed group model and select About Group Model from the Help menu.

4. Click License, Direct License Transfer.
5. In the Direct License Transfer dialog, enter the path to the target PC’s Windows\Oblicense directory (remember, the path must begin with a drive letter).

   Note: This is either the root OBLICENSE directory for CrypKey 4.2, or the OBLICENSE\61 directory for CrypKey 6.1.

6. Click OK to transfer the license.

   A message box displays the results of the transfer.
