EmailXtender/DiskXtender Licencing
If the system board (or any other component) on an EX/DX server needs to be replaced do EMC have to regenerate new EX/DX licence keys as the keys are based on the server ID. Is this also the same if the entire server needed to be replaced or can the old keys beused in anyway.
If new lecence keys, as a result of hardware component failure, need to be regenerated how does this impact on the original implementation. For example can they just be reapplied and then everything continues as normal.

- Hi there,
Frank is right... the license is tied to the Machine ID, which Microsoft calls the volume serial ID or number. And it has to be the volume the license server is installed to, so it's the system drive, since every drive has it's own volume serial number.
Works like charm; never had problems.
Hope this helps,
Jochen.

The license is tied to the 'machineid'
This is the volume serial number of the system partition. This can be set using a tool like volumeid:
