UG license server
UG license server
(OP)
The new owners in their infinite wisdom decided to quit paying our maintenance fees to save money during this rotten economy. Meanwhile, our license server is a Dell Workstation that is 7 or 8 years old. The computer has an integrated network card and if the mother board goes out, we are doinked. I know I could move the license server to another computer when we were paying for maintenance, but what do I do when that old computer finally kicks the bucket? Am I stuck with buying 3 new seats of UG?

RE: UG license server
Some softare companies will allow you to rehost your license server even if you aren't on maintenance because you do have a legal right to use that software. They may charge a nominal fee for this that is lower than full maintenance. Again, talk to your sales rep.

I am in the same boat, I recently upgraded my server. So unless I can get them to pay to move it; I'll have to keep the old server running off in the corner.
