Legato License Server Migration

I need to migrate Legato License Server off of an old Windows 2000 server running on old hardware to a newer system running Windows Server 2003. The help files and admin guide discuss the recovery of a License Server but do not have much detail around a migration to a newer platform.

Does anyone know how to migrate the License Server to a new system? The License Server version is 5.60.025.

I have searched through the forums and knowledgebase and have not found an answer to this question. Hopefully someone here can help.

Thanks,
Aran

    1. Dump license codes from old server
    2. Stop it
    3. Remove reference to old license server on bck server(s), put new one and stop NW
    4. Start new license server
    5. Enter licenses from step 1
    6. Start NW server(s)

    Thanks for the response. I am unsure how to accomplish part of the process though.

    We only use License Server to manage the license for DiskXtender which is attached to Centera storage. In DiskXtender it appears that the only way to change the license server configuration is through the setup wizard you have to browse for other license servers on the network. So won't I have to have the license server online, import the .lic file into the license server, and then browse to that server in DiskXtender?

    I'm not sure about DX and how it works there. However if it works as described in that case your are correct. But it is the same as with NW - you must have licenses in place already before you start application using those licenses.
