Changing IP Address of PLM (License) Manager?

[rmalloy]

Hi - I am hearing conflicting reports on whether or not I can change the IP address of the Prime License Manager (PLM).  Can anyone definitely say that I can do that without having to re-license everything?

[Jaime Valencia]

You can change the IP without invalidating the licenses, the parameter that is used to tie the licenses to the server is the MAC address, and that's why it's mandatory to use a static MAC address for standalone PLM servers, and recommended for co-res PLM.

Thank you Jaime!  Any chance you can dig up anything from CCO that confirms your suggestion?  That would be great and would make the technical team breathe easily as we plan this migration to another server for the PLM.

rmalloy,

See if this will get you past your technical team.
