As just described, DAQFactory uses a 15 letter soft key to convert a trial installation to a licensed installation. At some point, however, you may need to move this license to another computer. As it states in the End User License Agreement, you have to have a license for each computer running DAQFactory simultaneously. To move a license and ensure that you are not violating the EULA:
1) On the old computer, within DAQFactory, go to Tools - Remove Development License... This will remove the license, reverting the installation to a trial.
2) On the new computer, use the unlock key provided to you to license the computer as described in the last section.
A few points:
•Make sure and remove the license before uninstalling DAQFactory. Uninstalling alone does not remove the license.
•This method does not work for Runtime licenses, which cannot be moved.
•Removing the development license in step one above does not affect any existing Runtime license. This allows you to install a development license on a customer computer along with the Runtime and once the application is developed, you can remove the development license. If you expect to do this more than once you should consider the hardware key option.
•If you have a system crash or hard drive reformat you can skip the first step as the crash/reformat will erase the license.
•The unlock keys have a use limit, after which you will have to contact us to reset the key. If you expect to move the license multiple times we recommend the hardware key option which makes this very easy and is described in the next section. We reserve the right to insist on the hardware key, at your cost, if we feel your soft key is being abused.
