License an upgraded installation
There are some considerations for licensing when upgrading an existing Genero installation to a newer version.
Notes about upgrading
- Is installed into an existing installation directory
- Is not a major version number change
Alternatively, if you install the new product version in a directory separate to your existing
product installation, you can import the license from your existing product installation using your
preferred licensing method's import-license command: license controller
(fglWrt or greWrt) or License Manager
(flmprg). Importing a license is an alternative to uninstalling and reinstalling
a license. An additional advantage is that you do not need to reactivate the license by registering
it with Four Js. For more information on importing a license, go to Import license from another installation.
Maintenance contract and subscription license renewal
When you purchase a new maintenance contract or renew a subscription license, a new maintenance/subscription key must be installed. To install your new key, you do not need to reinstall your license. Updating the maintenance/subscription key is handled separately. There is also no need to uninstall the old maintenance/subscription key.
