Unity licenses and DiRT restore of Unity databases

[jshapura]

I'm planning a complete reinstall of Unity (OS and Unity software) for a migration from NT 4.0 domains to Active Directory. As part of this process I will restore the DiRT backup for my Unity database.

From reading the Unity licensing FAQ, it mentions that the license files are stored on UnityDB.

How does this impact the complete reinstall/DiRT restore? Will my licensing information just restore completely with the DiRT restore, or do I need to have ALL of my Unity license files (i.e. Realspeak sessions, secondary servers, # voice ports, # subscribers, etc) available and applied via the Licensing Wizard before I do the DiRT database restore?

Thanks in advance for your help!

No, you'll have to get a license file from your account team - that information is actually tied to your box (the NIC/machine name and such). The DiRT restore will go through regardless of if you're on a demo license or whatever - but some functions wont work and after a while Unity will stop functioning if you have more subscribers than you have licenses for.
