Upgrading operating system on the machine where NetCrunch is running

Some Windows upgrades may affect NetCrunch license activation status, so to stay safe it is recommended to deactivate the license before performing a major Windows Server OS upgrade where NetCrunch is installed. After completing the OS upgrade, you may activate the NetCrunch license again.

Applies to 15.x 12.x 11.x 10.x

To deactivate your license, use NCLicenseManager.exe located in the Start menu or in the program installation directory, and follow the steps listed there.

Deactivation will convert the program into a 7-day trial, allowing you to reprovision your license in the upgraded environment.

Please note:

If you deactivate the license online, you have to activate it online as well. If you deactivate the license offline, you have to activate it offline as well.
