Regardless of the process that you must follow to back up your licenses, which depends on the previous version that you are upgrading from and other factors, after you restore your licenses in your new ER/Studio Team Server 4.0 installation, you must log in as a super user and use the Manage Users page to assign different types of available licenses to your users.

Upgrading from Embarcadero CONNECT 3.0.x

We always recommend backing up your data before starting the process. You may have to back up your database, Repository database and export your Glossaries and Terms. We also recommend that you back up any licenses. To do this, please follow the steps in Upgrading from ER/Studio Portal 2.0.x.
Upgrading from ER/Studio Portal 2.0.x
If your previous installation is ER/Studio Portal 2.x, you will need to back up your licenses manually.
Make a copy of the license files, for example: license.txt, ao_12345678.txt or .slip until the upgrade has completed. Then copy to the license folder in the installation directory of the new ER/Studio Team Server installation folder.
Depending on your installation location, you can find the license file in the program directory. For example:
- C:\Embarcadero\ERStudio Portal 2.0\license
If you have previously used the uninstaller, you may also have a license backup in the following location:
- 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ersEnterprisePortalBackup\license
- 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ersEnterprisePortalBackup\license
- If you have installed ER/Studio Portal 2.0.x on one computer and now want to install ER/Studio Team Server on a different computer, there is no license to back up, so you must use the license file from the previous installation. Copy the license\license.txt file from the previous installation folder into the new ER/Studio Team Server installation folder.
After copying over the license.txt file to the license folder within the installation folder of ER/Studio Team Server, log in to ER/Studio Team Server as a super user, select My Settings > Admin > Licenses and click Refresh for ER/Studio Team Server to recognize your licenses.
