Step	Activity (Remarks)
1.	HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E (In cases where the MAC addresses are not already available.):
	The MAC address of the associated control board should be determined for every HiPath 3000 system.   The new network-wide overall license file is linked to the MAC address of the HiPath 3000 system with the lowest node number (node ID).
2.	HiPath License Management:
	Invoke the Central License Server CLS via: https://www.central-license-server.com/   Select the language version for the License Management Center.   Log on by entering the user name and password.
3.	Call the "Rehost Licenses" function under "Management of Used Licenses".   Different search criteria are displayed in order to call up the licenses to be converted.
4.	The MAC address of a HiPath 3000 control board determined under step [1] should be entered in the Locking ID input field.   Click Search to show the licenses belonging to the MAC address.
5.	Activate the Rehost button.   In the subsequent dialog, define the MAC address to which the new license should be linked.
6.	The MAC address of the control board whose HiPath 3000 system has the lowest node number (node ID) should be entered in the MAC address input field.   Click Next.
7.	Before you start to generate a new license key, note the following content of the mask displayed:    •   Legal notice: The licensing conditions must be accepted.  •   Notes: Notes on this procedure can be entered here. A distinction is made here between internal notes (only accessible to users authorized to create licenses) and customer notes (generally accessible).  •   Registered company and user: Company and user-specific data is displayed.  •   Rehost details: MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board.  •   Licenses to be used: The outcome of this procedure is displayed. Example: HG 1500 V2 & V3:    -   6 features (Licenses) will be upgraded as a result of this transaction.    -   6 features (Licenses) will be disabled as a result of this transaction.     This means that all six available licenses have been linked with the new MAC address. The old link with the HG 1500 board MAC address (Locking ID) was disabled for all six licenses. Click the Execute button. A new license key is generated.
8.	After successful execution, the message "License Key Generation Complete" appears The generation information and license key data is displayed.
9.	Steps [4] to [8] should be repeated for all HiPath 3000 systems.   Note: New licenses apply to the entire network. In other words, a single license key is generated for the entire HiPath 3000/5000 network. This file is linked with the MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board with the lowest node number (node ID).
10.	Open the License Management Center home page.
11.	Activate the "View Used Licenses and Certificates" function under "Management of Used Licenses".   Various search criteria are displayed for invoking the generated license key.
