Moving a checked out license from one computer to another

• If you need to move/relocate a checked out license to another machine, you will need to check-in the license from the current machine so that it's available for check-out again to the new machine.
• Steps to check-in license from one computer to another: you can send this to users
  1. Each computer will have to be connected to the internet during this process
  
  2. On the current computer, open the License Management Tool
  - From MicroStation/PowerDraft: Open any file, then go to Utilities > License Management Tool
  - Or from Windows Start Icon > Programs > Bentley > Name of Bentley software > License Management Tool
  
  3. Select the "License Checkout" tab (for older versions this is the default window)
  - In the bottom list, click on the software for which you need to renew the license
  - Then click on "Check-In"
  - The product should now be visible in the top list, with at least 1 license available
  
  4. With the same method, open the License Management Tool on the new computer
  
  5. Select the "License Checkout" tab (for older versions this is the default window)
  - The product needed should be visible in the top list, with at least 1 license available
