Hello,
We plan to change our hard disks on the machine where Finalbuilder is building our products.
Currently these are installed as an Raid0-Array so we have to change both hard disks.
We want to mirror the files from the old harddisks to the new ones(the old hard disks will not be used after this). This step is necessary, because we don't want to install all software anew.
Do we have to deactive our Finalbuilder license on the machine before mirroring/installing the new harddisks and after that re-activating our license or is this step not necessary?
Regards

Hi
You don’t have to deactivate licenses (we don’t use activation). You can just backup the license file and restore it once the new hard drives are in.
