Licensing the Double-Take Move console

The Double-Take Move console is used to perform Double-Take Move installations on other servers, and it is used as a license manager to manage your Double-Take Move source server licenses. Before you can install Double-Take Move on source servers or before you can manage your source server licenses, you must first license your Double-Take Move console. Licensing the console links the console to a specific machine. Any user on that machine can use the console, but the console license cannot be used on another console running on another machine. You will not be able to manage the source server licenses on one console with another console. The recommended configuration is to select one machine that will be used to perform all Double-Take Move server installations and to handle all Double-Take Move source server licensing.

If you want to perform an installation on a target server or on a source server that will be using a Double-Take Availability license, you do not need to license the Double-Take Move console.

1. Open the Double-Take Move console and select Tools, Licensing.
2. Enter your License and click Generate. A valid license will automatically populate the Server Information.
3. You need to provide the Server Information from this console to Vision Solutions.
• If you have Internet access from this console, click on the link Get Unlock Code. An activation form is displayed with the server information filled in automatically. Enter the remaining information and submit the form.
• If you do not have Internet access from this console, write down the Server Information. From a machine with Internet access, go to http://activate.doubletake.com/?product=dtmove. Fill in the information on the form, including the Server Information, and submit the form.
• If you do not have Internet access, contact your reseller by phone. You will need the Server Information to give to your reseller.
4. After you or your reseller have submitted the required information and the Server Information, you will be provided an unlock code via e-mail. Enter that code in the Unlock Code field and click Unlock.

Once your console has a valid Unlock Code, you can install on the number of sources assigned to that license. This is listed as the Total migration licenses. The Currently available licenses field identifies the number of migration licenses you have available for use. If desired at a later time, you can purchase and enter a new license that will add to your remaining number of migration licenses.
