Hi @mallion​ - this is described in detail here: https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-migrate-floating-license-servers

thanks @Sigbjørn Herstad​ , I did eventually find that article. I did the migration this afternoon and it went okay. The old license manager still has it licenses though and functioning, I thought perhaps that once you ordered the new lic file the old one tied to the same serial number would get blocked/decommissioned. Do you know if there is a process to decommission the old license manager or do you just delete the old lic file?
