- Removing Existing Legacy Licenses
  Before migrating to cloud-based licensing, you must remove your existing licenses.

About this task

Changing device name and location information does not affect the licenses on your computer. The alias helps you search for your assets in the IT (SFDC self -service) system. If you are using a local license server, it appears in the "Viewing the Client Computer List" in the Local License Server Settings Tool.

Procedure

From the License Client, click the Advanced tab.
From the Advanced tab, click the Update application settings link.
The Update Application Settings page appears.
Click Device Alias to view the alias assigned to this device.
