Move server license from old server to new server
« on: August 04, 2009, 03:20:06 PM »
Scanned through the forum without finding any information on this, so I posted this one.
A customer got Avast Server running, but they are going to remove that server, and install Avast on the new server.
Are there any problems doing so? Or do they need to buy a new license?

as far as i know you buy a license independent from the hardware...

meaning that you can MOVE the license to any server you want as long as it is just 1 server using that 1 license....
so its save to remove that old server, and install avast with that license on the new server

suppose you have a 3 year deduction period on your hardware until u buy new hardware
then u buy in the last year of that period a 3 year license for avast server then u replace the hardware but still have at least 2 years of avast left....
seems to me that you can use that 2 year on the new hardware until its time to extend the license for avast :D
