CML - License Personal - New VM

[Kalimoz]

So I'm running a VM in a low end platform, I will purchase a dedicated machine to run CML as smooth as possible . I already registered the license that comes with personal in my account. Will i have problems activate the same license in my new deployment?

You will need to de-register the license on the old platform before registering it to the new. From the CML Installation Guide:

Caution

If you want to delete, move, or redeploy a licensed CML VM, you must deregister the instance first. Only one CML deployment may be associated with each valid license.

Failure to deregister the CML server will result in a license that is considered to be in use with no way for you to release the license from CML itself. You will not be able to authorize a different CML server with the license in that state. See Licensing - Deregistration.

If you ever delete the CML VM without deregistering the CML server first, your license will be unusable until you manually delete the old CML instance from the Smart Licensing servers. In that case, follow the instructions at the end of the “out of compliance” answer in the CML FAQ.
