Reply To: Migrating Ansys License Manager r2023a to a new RHEL8 host

@oitvas, 

If you are moving to a different machine, you will have to rehost the entitlements to the new server. Also, update the license manager (LM) to the latest version. Once the new server is up and running. Make sure to uninstall the LM and remove the installation folder from the previous machine. And delete any copy of the previous license file from your systems. We have the following KB for the process.

Hope this helps.
