Preparing Joget License For Server Migration

Migrating Joget System to a New Server

Migrating the Joget system to a new server will affect the Joget license as the System Key is tied to:

  • The server network MAC address
  • The database profile name

The license is also generated for:

  • A specific major version (e.g., the license key for Joget 7 will not work for Joget 8)
  • A specific Joget edition (e.g., Professional or Enterprise Edition)

Active subscribers of Joget Software Assurance will be entitled to a license upgrade without additional cost.

If you are running Joget in VMware, please ensure the VM preserves the same MAC address after a reboot.
