Product licenses are distributed in the form of a license file. If you already have a license file, its serial number is listed in the License field.

To Add or Update a License File

  1. To add a license file, click Import License File.

    A browse box opens.

  2. Select and import the license. Any change to the license field takes place immediately, but MOVEit Transfer services can require an IIS Reset.
  3. On the Windows host where MOVEit Transfer is running, open a Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) and reset the IIS Service. For example:

    C:\Users\Administrator>iisreset

    Attempting stop...

    Internet services successfully stopped
