====== Importing TapeTrack License ======

While logged to in TapeMaster as [[common:tapemaster_user|tapemaster]], or [[master:user#options|user-ID with tapemaster rights]]

From the menu click ''Help'' -> ''Framework Server Licensing''

<note important>If the menu option **Framework Server Licensing** is grayed out and inaccessible, you do not have sufficient privileges (tapemaster rights) to alter the software license</note>

Click ''[[technote:export_license|Export license to a file]]'' and save the file with a descriptive name (e.g. backup_license.cfg).  Exporting your current license allows you to revert to your current license should something not work as expected while importing a new license.

Click ''Import license'' to open the Windows Open File dialog.

Select the license config file you received with the new key and click ''Open'' to import the file.

Your expiry date should now be updated and ''License Status'' should read **OK**.

On older releases, if your expiry date has updated but the license status still reads NOT-OK, click ''Apply license changes'' to save updated values.

Click ''OK'' to close the License Window.


<note> Older versions may require you to press F5 while in the [[master:customer_tree|customer tree]] window to refresh new information.

====== Troubleshooting ======

If after installing new license configuration file your **License Status** still reads **Not-OK**, reinstall old configuration (backup-license.cfg) file using above instructions and contact help desk [[common:support_details|support]] for further information.  

Alternatively you can click ''Get temporary license'' and ''OK'' from the Framework Server Licensing window to give you a 12 day expiry date to continue to use TapeTrack until your new key has been issued.  Your computer must have internet access for the ''Get temporary license'' function to work.
