Changing Server Hostname

[jbuchanan]

Hi there,

I've recently run into an issue (non-Ranorex related) that requires me to change the hostname of the server that Ranorex is running on. Are there any issues that I may run into by doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello jbuchanan,

Which Ranorex tool is running on your server? If the Ranorex License Manager is running on the machine, you will have to transfer the license keys which are installed to the new host name. It is also necessary to change the host name in the Ranorex Licensing Tool on each client as well.
If you are using a Node-Locked license you also have to transfer the license key. Other than that, there changing the host name should not cause any issues.
