OnCommand License migration query

RAJIV_NAIR — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:56:54 GMT

Hello,

We have installed OnCommand version 5.2 on Red Hat Linux version - 2.6.18-371.12.1.el5.

However, now we are planning to move this OnCommand from Linux OS to Windows 2012 OS.

Hence we would like to know if the same license key(used on linux OS) be used on the Windows OS ?

Hi Rajiv,

you can use the same license key. In fact when you backup the DFM database from the linux server and restore it to the windows host the same license is used anyway as its contained in the DB itself.

Please just don't run two installations with the same license key in parallel as this would violate the license agreement and mess up autosupport data which would make troubleshooting harder for our support center.
