| IDS uses the term “return” to describe releasing the license from its tie to the PC on which it has been activated. When you activate a license it binds it to the PC. If a user wishes to transfer the license to another PC or if the PC goes through an Operating System upgrade or if you get a new PC, the license must be released from the PC prior to these changes. Users can release the license from a PC by using the “Return a License” feature within the IDS License Management menu. Once a license is returned/released from a PC it can be activated in IDS on another PC or the same PC using the “Activate a License” feature in IDS. |
