Summary


Details

A customer upgrades their Operating System from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Previously, they had installed Solid Edge in conjunction with FlexLM License Manager.  Does this change impact in any way the licensing of Solid Edge?

Solution

An upgrade from W10 to W11 on a machine with Solid Edge installed will not cause the Composite Host ID of the machine to be modified.  If this were the case, the licenses containing either CID for Floating Licenses ( FLEXLM) or the COMPOSITE2 ID for Node locked Licenses, would have to be adjusted.  However, since the IDs are not changed in this scenario, the customer can upgrade the Operating system without changing Licenses.
