Export license keys that are already loaded in your system

Export license keys that are already loaded in your system

Every now and then, there is a need to export license keys from a system.  I needed to get into the VAR layer to modify code in a Microsoft VPC, but as we all know, Contoso license keys don't come with the BUS/CUS/VAR access codes.  So I did what any developer would do:

  • Write a job to export the Contoso license key file
  • Import my company's partner license key file
    • DO NOT SYNC when it asks
  • Jump in the VAR layer using our layer access code to make my changes real quick
  • Import back the Contoso license key file I exported from my job and SYNC
