Hi..  
We have 2 workstations - server and client. Ignition license is installed on server workstation and client connects to server for vision client.  
The license does not include gateway redundancy feature.  
As per what I have read till now, to transfer the license from one to other workstation, first we will have to deactivate it from first gateway and activate it on second one.  
So, the question is, if the server workstation is faulted (not turning ON), is it possible to use that license on the client workstation? Because in that case we wont be able to deactivate license from the server workstation.

Thanks..

You cannot use a license on a client station. You need another gateway.

You cannot (normally) use a license on another gateway without deactivating on the first. If you need to do this for redundancy, set up another gateway and buy a redundant license.

If you have complete failure of a gateway, and permanently replace its hardware, IA support can reset a license for re-installation.
