In either case, the license rights are only active on one PC at a time. Proceed with caution when transferring license rights. If you enter an incorrect code or if the removable medium is damaged, the license rights will be lost. If this happens, please contact one of the Schneider Electric software registration centers. License rights can only be transferred if the PCs concerned do not have the same hard disk number. This issue has already arisen with the use of certain "ghosts". If you intend to transfer the license rights back from the target PC to the source PC, you do not need to uninstall and then re-install the software. To transfer the license rights back, repeat the transfer procedure. If you are also upgrading this software and have requested an authorization code, you must wait until you have received this new authorization code and have entered it on the source PC before transferring the license rights. The license rights can only be transferred if the software is the same type on both the source PC and target PC. For PL7, the same applies to its version. Transferring license rights using a removable medium or a network Before commencing the procedure to transfer the license rights, make sure the software is already installed on the target PC. Certain information is required from the target PC during this process. Transferring license rights using a removable medium

2 Page 2 of 38 Transferring license rights via a network FAQs about transferring license rights During a network transfer, you will need to enter the ID of the target PC. We recommend that you print out this information to avoid any inputting errors. Finding a PC on the network If the PC is connected to a vast network, the network browser is not necessarily the best tool to use when searching. This procedure could in fact take a considerable time. If you know it, enter either the name of the target PC (for example, \\targetcomputername\) or its IP address (for example, \\ \). This is the most efficient method. Why does the source PC not display the target PC s shared folder? Check that you have the necessary rights for accessing the target PC. If in doubt, contact your system administrator. Why is the registration wizard inaccessible when you are using the network browser? The most likely cause is that another program supplied by Schneider Electric (OFS for example) is running on the target computer. Why has the transfer of license rights via the network failed? Another program supplied by Schneider (OFS for example) is running on the target PC. Check that you have the necessary read/write rights for accessing the shared folder. In Windows XP, the default access rights are read-only. Right-click with the mouse and select Sharing to change the parameters. Make sure that the "Allow network users to change my files" property has been selected. Is it possible to register several sets of license rights on the same removable medium? Only a single set of license rights can be registered on the same removable medium. If you try to register a second, an error message is displayed. The medium containing the license rights is faulty: How can they be retrieved?

À propos du transfert des droits de licence pour les logiciels PL7 V4.5 et Unity Pro V2.3 SP1 Vous pouvez transférer les droits de licence d un PC à un autre en utilisant un support amovible ou un réseau. Dans les deux cas, les droits de licence ne sont actifs que sur un PC à la fois. Soyez attentifs lors du transfert des droits de licence. Si vous saisissez un code incorrect ou si le support amovible est endommagé, les droits de licence sont perdus. Dans ce cas, veuillez contacter l un des centres d enregistrement logiciel Schneider Electric. Le transfert des droits de licence n est possible que si les PC concernés n ont pas le même numéro de disque dur. Ce cas s est déjà présenté avec l utilisation de certains «ghosts». Si vous avez l intention de retransférer les droits de licence du PC destinataire vers le PC d origine, il n est pas nécessaire de désinstaller puis de ré-installer le logiciel. Pour retransférer les droits de licence, vous devez ré-exécuter la procédure de transfert. Si vous mettez également à niveau ce logiciel et avez demandé un code d autorisation, vous devez attendre d obtenir ce nouveau code d autorisation puis le saisir sur le PC d origine avant de transférer les droits de licence. Les droits de licence ne peuvent être transférés que si le type du logiciel est le même sur le PC d origine et le PC destinataire. Pour PL7, il en est de même pour sa version.
