    100% helpful (1/1)

    A transfer of the license from the Bosch Software License Manager System (SLMS) to the Bosch Remote Portal is required for every BVMS system to be upgraded from 10.1 to 11.0

    Starting with BVMS 11.0 the license activation is done via Bosch Remote Portal.

    To upgrade an existing system, the BVMS licenses need to be migrated from the old licensing system, Bosch Software License Manager System (SLMS), to the new licensing system available in Bosch Remote Portal.

    This article describes the steps that need to be followed when upgrading a system to BVMS 11.0.

    Prerequisites for upgrading a system to BVMS 11.0:

    1. Existing license activated in SLMS
    2. Valid Software Assurance (SMA)
    3. Valid account on Bosch Remote Portal

     

     IMPORTANT

    In BVMS 10.x the computer signature is the link to the license in the SLMS

    When upgrading to 11.x the computer signature becomes obsolete and the new Remote Portal tool no longer takes it into consideration

    The software Order ID is transferred in the background from SLMS to the Remote Portal

    This allows the activation of BVMS 11.x in the Remote Portal using the new identifiers for the Management Server Hardware called System Fingerprint, contained in the System Info file.

     

    Step-by-step guide

     

    1. Check the license status in Bosch Software License Manager System
