Transitioning from Reservations to Partitions

If you decide to move from using reservations to using partitions, you need to perform the following steps:

1.

Delete any reservation groups.

2.

Create a new model definition which defines rules and partitions (see Define a Model Definition and Upload the Model Definition).

The new model definition takes effect immediately after upload.

Before starting the migration, you might want to use the FlexNet License Server Administrator command-line tool (flexnetlsadmin) to view information about the reservations currently active on your license server. See Managing Reservations in Using the FlexNet License Server Administrator Command-line Tool.

A Note on Reserved Counts in Use

If any reserved license counts are in use by clients while transitioning from reservations to partitions, such used counts are recorded as used against the default partition. They remain in the default partition until the client renews or returns these counts, after which point the license counts are allocated to their named partition according to the model definition.
