How to upgrade your license file

When upgrading software or going from a temporary to permanent license you will need to upgrade your license file. You can upgrade the license using the License Server Installer or manually, we break down both below.

See Location of Installed Files to find where the Thinkbox_License.lic will be stored, based on the operating system you are running.

License Server Installer

Re-run the installer downloaded from the License Server section of the Downloads Page. The installer will stop the current service, copy the new license file you give it to replace the old one. Once finished it will restart the service.

Manual Install

Locate the directory the license file is currently stored in, replace the existing file with the new License file sent to you by sales or support, and restart the license server. It should be noted we strongly recommend using the license server installer going forward for maximum compatibility.
