Topic<\/h4>\n

This article describes the process steps for moving your registered SNIP<\/strong><\/span> installation to another machine.\u00a0\u00a0 This applies to those users with Basic, Pro, and Enterprise level licenses.\u00a0 It does not apply to Lite users.\u00a0 Any additional stream licenses you have purchased will also be transferred to the new machine.\u00a0 All of the license keys you have purchased are moved as a group from the old machine to the new one.<\/p>\n

After the move is completed, you can run SNIP<\/strong><\/span> on the new machine using the same license with the same stream rights.\u00a0 [Be sure that the new machine is equipped with a suitably numbered serial port and other connections you expect to find.] The older machine will no longer run under that license, but you can still use it in the Lite mode which requires no license, or you can purchase additional licenses as needed.\u00a0 There are no limits on how often you may move your SNIP<\/strong><\/span> installation, but as the process is time consuming it typically occurs only when there is a need for a hardware change.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h4>\n

The process uses the same wizard as used in the registration process.
\nA summary of three major steps are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Export the license file from the active machine to be decommissioned<\/li>\n
  2. Dissociate that machine from the license using your user account with use-snip.com<\/li>\n
  3. Import the created license file on the new (target) machine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step-by-Step<\/h4>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Exporting your license data:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Launch SNIP<\/strong><\/span>, then go to Help->Registration to open the registration wizard<\/li>\n
    2. \u00a0Select the “Export your license data to a file” option
      \n\"export_intro\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. \u00a0Select the target location to generate the file, then click on the “Export” button
      \n      \"export_browse\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. \u00a0Once complete, click “Finish” to close the dialog. \u00a0A “license.dat” file should be generated at the target location<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Dissociating the license key with the previous machine:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0Go to use-snip.com<\/a> then log in to your user account.<\/li>\n
      2. \u00a0Once logged in, go to the “Account” Page, which should display the purchase history page with all license keys listed.<\/li>\n
      3. \u00a0Find the key you would like to dissociate, then click on the “View Licenses” option.<\/li>\n
      4. A status page for the selected license key will be shown. \u00a0Note that an activation of “1\/1” indicates that the license key was previously activated on another machine. \u00a0To dissociate it, select “Manage Sites,” then select “Deactivate Site” in the next page. \u00a0Now the activation number should be “0\/1” indicating that you can register the new machine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Note<\/strong><\/span>: The very first time you log in to your SNIP<\/strong><\/span> account, you will be taken to your “profile” page.\u00a0\u00a0 You can optionally fill this in, or skip it.\u00a0 To get to the ‘main’ page (and hence the button that will allow you to access your SNIP<\/strong><\/span> license management details), the click the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> logo in the upper left corner<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        Importing your license data:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u00a0Once the key dissociating is completed, go back to the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> registration wizard, and select the “Import your license data to a file” option.
          \n          \"import_intro\"<\/a><\/li>\n
        2. Browse to the “license.dat” file that was generated during the export step, then click on the “Import” button.
          \n          \"import_browse\"<\/a><\/li>\n
        3. Once complete, the final page will list the license rights associated with the license. \u00a0It is recommended that you restart SNIP<\/strong><\/span> at this point for the new license to take effect.
          \n          \"import_complete\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
