| Question | Short Answer | |----------|--------------| | Can I copy a node‑locked license file to another computer? | No. The file is tied to the hardware fingerprint it was generated for. | | What happens if I change the NIC on a node‑locked machine? | The license will become invalid. You’ll need to generate a new license file using the new fingerprint. | | Do I need a separate license file for each Solid Edge add‑on (e.g., Simulation, Composer)? | Typically a license file covers all modules included in your product bundle. If you bought extra modules, they are usually added to the same file. | | Can I run the same 12‑seat floating license on two different license servers? | No. Only one server can host a particular license file at a time. | | Is there a way to see the content of the .lic file? | The file is encrypted; Siemens provides no official tool to view it. Trying to decode it is a violation of the EULA. |
