Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional - Manual (Page 44)

Before making any hardware changes to your PC (such as disk re-formatting) please remember
to return your activated license back to Pitney Bowes Software Inc. or to your License Server.
After your hardware has been changed you may then re-activate your license. Note:
To transfer a distributed license to your License Server:
1. Choose Help > Licensing > Transfer License.
The Return distributed license to license server dialog box opens.
2. Click the OK button to transfer the distributed license to the server.
After the transfer is complete, a confirmation message opens. You can then install MapInfo
Professional again on another computer using the same serial number, activation code, license
server name and path, and port number.
3. If you have unsaved or open MapInfo table data, the Save Modified Table Data dialog box opens.
This dialog box helps you save or discard data before you transfer your license to your License
Server. Click the appropriate option to save or discard this data:
• Click Save to save the open table data
• Click Save All to save the open data in the appropriate data tables
• Click Discard to close the open table without saving the modified data
• Click Discard All to close the open tables without saving the modified data
After you make your selection in this dialog box, the transfer continues as described above.
After you return the license, the application closes. Since MapInfo Professional is still installed
on your computer, if you open the application again, the product will attempt to activate another Note:
distributed license. If the license is not available, you can use the courtesy license for the balance
of your 30 day trial.

Microsoft Bing Maps Licensing
Purchasing a new MapInfo Professional license or upgrading an existing license provides access to
Microsoft Bing Maps, a web mapping service, for Bing Aerial and Bing Hybrid maps. These maps are
used by the Add Bing Roads to Map and the Move Map to features in MapInfo Professional. Access
to these maps is for a limited time, see
Bing Maps Expiration Date on page 44. To continue access
after the expiration date, you must keep your MapInfo Professional license on maintenance. This ensures
that you can upgrade to the latest version of MapInfo Professional and continue to use the Add Bing
Roads to Map and the Move Map to features.
Bing Maps Expiration Date
Bing Maps has a limited license period, which is specific to each version of MapInfo Professional. Bing
Maps and the Add Bing Roads to Map and the Move Map to features cease working after this date:
