How do I move my LP360 node-locked license to a new machine? – LP360

This article applies to LP360 Geospatial node-locked perpetual licenses.

LP360 v2018.1 and later allows users to move their own node-locked licenses from one machine to another, subject to a minimum lock period.

Before you begin

A node-locked license cannot be deactivated for seven (7) days after it is activated on a machine.
You must deactivate the license on the old machine before activating it on a new one.

Step 1 – Deactivate the license on the old machine

Start LP360 on the machine where the node-locked license is currently active.
Open File → License Manager .
Select Deactivate Node-locked License.

If the seven-day lock period has not elapsed, deactivation will not be available.

Step 2 – Install LP360 on the new machine

Download and install the latest version of LP360.
Start LP360 on the new machine.

The Credentials dialog of the License Manager will appear automatically if LP360 is not yet licensed.

Step 3 – Activate the node-locked license on the new machine

In most cases, licensing will be configured automatically when you sign in to LP360 Online.

In the Credentials dialog, sign in using your LP360 Online account.
Select Perpetual as the license type.
Confirm that your license information is populated.
From the list of available licenses, select the desired license level.
Select Activate Node-Locked.

If automatic configuration does not occur, you can manually enter your license string from the LP360 Portal -> Admin -> Organization section and select Set.

Note: A node-locked license cannot be deactivated again for seven (7) days after activation.

Optional – Transfer user settings

If desired, you can copy user settings from the old machine to the new one. These files are typically found in:

%AppData%\LP360
%ProgramData%\LP360

Only copy files if you want to preserve custom settings, filters, or workflows.
