[FlexNet License Server / Thermo Scientific License Manager (LM) portal]
Context & Prerequisites
When a new version of a Thermo Scientific Software application is released, you need to upgrade the activated licenses on your FlexNet license server to allow client application users to run the new version.
Caution For Avizo, Amira, and PerGeos applications, upgrades are only available for licenses in version 2021.1 or later. If you are upgrading from a version before 2021.1, first activate the license codes you received by email when version 2021.1 was released. Then proceed with the upgrade (refer to article KA-01257 "License Server: Activate (New) Licenses - Get the License Server Host ID").
