Replacing a Licence File

Can we replace license file in Flexi man Server any time in advance or we have to replace it and restart the server on same day of activation?

Please Advise

You can do it anytime but the new licence only starts on the day it was written for.

I have in the past done the license swap in the middle of the day when there were many users on the system.... on the day that the license will expire. They get FLEXLM error messages, and license expiration error messages, and call in a frantic uproar asking if they have lost their work or if they will be able to work the next day...

It adds humor to my life... A much needed thing in the world of an administrator...

AVEVA send us the license file some days before the expiring date of previous lic, in those days , when nobody is working with PDMS I change the lic file and restart the flexman manager.
It always runs.

Mr. jmgvalderrama
I have done the same thing but i replaced the file 2 days before and actual day of working i got a license error messege.
When i replaced again same file on same day then it works fine.
So. it means i can not replace a file in advance

I've never had those problem , ask AVEVA of your country why can't change the lic file a couple of days after.
