Transfer of OPC UA deployment license to different PC

[Mads]

Is there a way to transfer a purchased and installed deployment license for the LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit from one machine to another?

When we deliver a system with OPC UA we often need to temporarily install the OPC server we have made with the toolkit on some random test machine and it does not make much sense to have to buy a deployment license just for that test machine. We would instead like to just temporarily install the one we will be using for the actual installation, and then transfer it to the new machine later. Ideally you could run the server for a few hours every now and then to do tests like these *without* a deployment license (not to metion on the development machines where the toolkit development license should cover such tests for the executable(!), but that's another issue).

Hi Mads,

Is this question still open?

The easiest way I can think of doing what you are asking is to temporarily deactivate the deployment license and then reactivate it on the PC that it is required for the tests, as explained here - https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P7WFSA0&l=en-GB
