How do I migrate my Shiny Server Pro license from one machine to another?

To move your license from one Shiny Server Pro installation to another, take the following steps

1. Install Shiny Server Pro on the new machine, and verify that it is functioning properly.
   • /etc/shiny-server/shiny-server.conf
   • /etc/init/shiny-server.conf (if you made any changes to this file)
   • Any PAM session file you may have created on the old server
1. If this machine has never had Shiny Server Pro on it before, you will have the standard 45-day trial period before a license is required.
2. If you would like the new machine to have the same configuration as the old machine, you can copy the configuration files in the /etc/rstudio directory from the old server to the new.
3. If you are using an authentication method with Shiny Server Pro, you will want to implement the same configuration on the new server that you have on the old.
2. Deactivate the license on the old server. Note that this will make the old server unlicensed, so you will need to apply a new license if you wish to keep using it.
3. Activate the license on the new server
4. Restart the new server 
5. Verify the status of the license on the new server

If you are are using a license file to activate or using offline activation with a license key, those commands are also found in the admin guide from the links above.

For more information on license management, see this section of the Shiny Server administrator's guide.
