Reassigning named licenses

Named licenses are assigned to specific users when an unassigned license is claimed for the first time. The user will then retain exclusive use of that license until they have not used it for 90 days, at which time the license is released and may be claimed by another user. You may assign claimed licenses to other users instead of waiting for the 90 days to elapse, such as for an extended absence.

The default method to reassign named licenses is in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration console as described in the BlueCieloMeridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide. If necessary, licenses may be reassigned in the BlueCieloMeridian Enterprise Administrator program run on the Meridian application server. The License Server branch in Meridian Enterprise Administrator is hidden by default. To reveal it, set the NodesMask registry value as described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMAdmin.

To reassign a named license:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, select License Server in the left pane. Property page tabs appear in the right pane.
2. Click the Users tab. The current quantity of each registered license type is shown in the Licenses list.
3. Select a license type in the Licenses list. The names of users currently claiming that license type are shown in the right-hand list.
4. Right-click the name of the user who is assigned a license that you want to reassign and then click Exchange user on the context menu that appears. The Select user to exchange with <CurrentUser>dialog box appears.
5. Click the name of the user to which you want to assign the license. If that user name has multiple accounts assigned to it, select the desired account in the Accounts list.
6. Click Select. The license is assigned to the selected user.
