The process of moving the existing license on the device A (office-laptop e.g.) to the device B (home-desktop e.g.) is called license transfer.
You can transfer a stand-alone license from one computer to another either temporarily or permanently.
How to Transfer a License to a Different Computer:
The following steps must be followed for license transfer;
-
ideYAPI OneClick is installed on the device A (office-laptop e.g.) where the ideCAD is used and the device B (home-desktop e.g.) where the ideCAD will be used.
-
Sign in ideYAPI OneClick with the same account on both devices.
-
Both devices must be registered to ideYAPI OneClick.
-
Click on the App/References (Ctrl + P) line from the ideYAPI OneClick menu on the device A (office-laptop e.g.).
-
The Settings dialog will open.
-
Enter the device Device Name and Description.
-
Click on Attach This Device button.
This must be done for both devices.
-
Switch to the device B (home-desktop e.g.).
-
Click on the App/References (Ctrl + P) line from the ideYAPI OneClick menu.
-
The Settings dialog will open.
-
Enter the device Device Name and Description.
-
Click on Attach This Device button.
-
Switch to the device A (office-laptop e.g.).
-
Click on the License tab in ideYAPI OneClick .
-
A list of licenses available on the device A (office-laptop e.g.) will open.
-
Licenses with the transfer (truck) symbol at the end of the line can be transferred to the device B (home-desktop e.g.).
-
Click on the transfer icon at the end of the license to be transferred to the device B (home-desktop e.g.).
-
Devices registered to the system are listed.
-
The device B (home-desktop e.g.) to be moved is selected.
-
Click the Transfer button.
-
Information is given that Your license is transfered to target device. You should sync your license via ideYAPI OneClick in the target device.
As a result of this process, the license on the processed device A (office-laptop e.g.) will be removed. The transferred license is kept in the cloud system.
-
Switch to the device B (home-desktop e.g.).
-
Open the ideYAPI OneClick.
-
Click on the License tab.
-
Click the Apply Licenses button on the top left.
-
The license pending in the cloud is automatically downloaded and activated.
-
Information is given that All pending licenses are transferred successfully.
-
With the transferred license, ideCAD continues to be used.
Once a license is transfered from the device A (office-laptop e.g.), it cannot be restored without received by the device B (home-desktop e.g.). First device B (home-desktop e.g.) must receive the pending license from the cloud then the license can be resent back to device A (office-laptop e.g.).
