Issue
How to use the Floating License Manager after installing Power Monitoring Expert (PME) 2021

Product Line
Floating License Manager

Environment
Floating License Manager

Cause
Starting with PME 2021, the License Configuration Tool is used for license configuration. The Floating License Manager and License Manager are not supported for license configuration in PME2021. These two applications are unusable after system upgrade.

Resolution
You might have other systems installed on the same server for which licensing is based on Floating License Manager.

To use Floating License Manager after system upgrade, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the Floating License Manager folder from the backup folder ( ...\Power Monitoring Expert\PowerMonitoringExpert_9.1_Backup\Floating License Manager)

NOTE: This backup folder location is based on the system upgrade from PME 2020 to 2021.

2. Paste the Floating License Manager folder inside the following folder location ...\Power Monitoring Expert\.
3. The Floating License Manager folder is created.
4. Launch FloatingLicenseManager.exe.
5. The Floating License Manager opens.
