Transfer Local Licenses Offline

After activating local licenses on one machine, you may need to transfer them to another. Use the Transfer action, which deactivates the licenses on the original machine and saves the associated TLM codes for activation on a new machine.

  1. On the original machine with active licenses, open Thermo Scientific License Manager.
  2. In the Local licenses screen:
    • Select Transfer to transfer a list of multiple product licenses.
    • Click Transfer button to transfer a single license.
  3. In the Transfer mode display, click Offline Transfer.
  4. In the Transfer license(s) display, click Continue.

Follow these steps for offline transfer:

  1. Click Create request file in the Offline license Transfer (1/3) screen.
  2. Offline transfer

  3. Specify where to save the request.tlm file that contains your offline transfer request, then click Save.
  4. Transfer your TLM request file to a computer with an Internet connection.
  5. On a computer with an Internet connection, open https://tlm-portal.com/operation in a web browser.
  6. Select Upload File.
  7. Click Choose file, select your TLM request file then click Open.
  8. Click Submit. This initiates the download of the response.tlm file. Specify a location to save it.
  9. Transfer the response.tlm file to the computer where you want the local license to be deactivated.
  10. In the Offline license transfer (2/3) display, click Finish now.
  11. Offline transfer upload

  12. In the Offline license transfer (3/3) display, click Load response file.
  13. Offline transfer load

  14. Navigate to select the response.tlm file, then click Open.
  15. The resulting Transfer report indicates if selected licenses have been successfully deactivated. Download their activation codes as a tlm-codes.tlm file by clicking Download TLM codes.
  16. Transfer report

  17. Save this tlm-codes.tlm file and then copy it to your new machine where you want to install these licenses. Open Thermo Scientific License Manager here.
  18. Follow either online or offline activation procedures for local license(s) and use activation code(s) saved in tlm-codes.tml file. (See Activate Local Licenses Online or Activate Local Licenses Offline for more information.)

If you lose your transferred license's TLM codes during this process, retrieve them using the transfer-tlm-codes file automatically generated during each transfer operation. This file is located in your system user directory.
