While you can import older license files you cannot key in the older type of license key you receive in the email from BMC. (I wish BMC would send a file attachment when you purchase a new or purge a server license so I could just do a quick import) Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Easter, David Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 10:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Upgrade to 7.1 and licenses Just a few corrections on this: > If you have any unapplied 7.0 licenses lying around your desk, you will not > be able to apply them after the upgrade. Actually, you can import license files prior to 7.1.00 into 7.1.00. This is documented in the Configuring Guide, page 39. > In 7.1, you apply licenses ONLY through the User tool. To be technically correct, you can apply licenses through either the Remedy User client, the web client or any other client through the Administration Console. A savvy programmer could even apply licenses through other means by writing directly to the form (e.g. during installation of a deployable application). -David J.

Be aware that after your upgrade you will need to order new licenses in the 7.1 format. If you have any unapplied 7.0 licenses lying around your desk, you will not be able to apply them after the upgrade. You will have to purge them and apply 7.1 licenses. One more thing: Prior to 7.0 you applied licenses through the Admin tool. In 7.0 you could apply licenses through the User tool or the Admin tool. In 7.1, you apply licenses ONLY through the User tool. This is a shift in the way you'll think about licensing.

The only place we had to purge was where we moved from Windows to Linux. We ddin't have to purge on our existing unix servers after an upgrade.

We have upgraded a couple of non-production servers to 7.1 and did not purge licenses beforehand. When looking at the license information after the upgrade the only license that had a key was the server. All other entries just had quantities. I did not purge the licenses because there was no change of hardware. I assume that Remedy took the data in the license file and made entries in the license form. Is my thinking incorrect?
