Question:

What license issues do I need to consider when upgrading from Allplan 2013, or 2014 to Allplan 2015 in conjunction with the NemSLock license server?



Answer:

Do the following:


Upgrading licenses using NemSLock license server

To open NemSLock 2006 Server Console, click the icon on the desktop or select Start -> (All) Programs -> NemSLock 2006 Server -> NemSLock 2006 Server Console.
Click "Modules" on the left.
Select the seat you want to register. If your license includes configurations for several seats, you need to send a separate registration request for each seat. You will then receive a registered license file for each seat. You need to install each file you get (see below).
Click the “Registration request (register.txt)” button.
Click “Create registration request”. Windows Explorer starts and opens the folder with the registration file. Now you can use all the options provided in Windows Explorer: for example, you can attach the file to an email, copy it to a computer with Internet connection etc..
Send this email with the registration request to the following address: register@nemetschek.de.


Use the Console to install the license files you receive:
Open NemSLock 2006 Server Console.
Click “Stop server” on the left.
Click "Modules" on the left.
Click ”Browse” to navigate to the registered license file.
Click “Install license file”.
After this, you can start the server again by clicking “Start server”.




Upgrading Allplan

After you have upgraded the license, open the License Manager by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Nemetschek -> Nemetschek SoftLock 2006 -> License Manager.
Select only an available license for Allplan 2015 in the License Manager (displayed as Allplan (30) by an older version of License Manager).
Upgrade Allplan to version 2015.
Select “Existing license file” when Setup prompts you for the license. The license driver is installed afterwards.
Then Setup checks whether you have selected a license for Allplan 2015. If this is so, Setup continues and installs Allplan 2015.
If there are problems with the existing license during the upgrade, you can also use your current temporary client license.
If you haven't your latest license available you can download it from connect.allplan.com. After login choose license management under Profile.
Then switch the clients to the license server and select only the new license from the license server.
