OS Upgrade - Licencing?

[KingfisherUK]

I'm planning to upgrade my (home) server from Windows Server 2012 to Server 2016 in the near future, but will be making no hardware changes. I've checked the FAQ's and see that for DrivePool I can just deactivate the installation on the old OS and then re-activate when installing it on the new build.

 

However, for Scanner it says I need to contact support to transfer the licence. If I'm not making any hardware changes, does this still apply given that the licence is - according to the FAQ - linked to the hardware?

For StableBit Scanner, this only applies to the v1 product.  The v2 includes the ability to deactive the license. 

 

To do so, open the settings (on the system it's installed, not over remote), and open the "licensing" tab.  From there, you can deactivate the license.

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply.
