Old Altera Quartus II license - Server change

[BD11]

We have an old Altera Quartus II floating license on a server that we want to retire since it's very very old.  The service/support has long run out but the license is still active/permanent (for the older Quartus software).  We have no intention (at this time) of upgrading our Quartus version.  I would like the license file changed (hostname & MAC) for the new/replacement server.  How do I go about doing that?

Thank you.

Hi Sir

Welcome to INTEL forum. Software and IP licenses can be transferred to a different PC/server by going to the 'Create New License' section on the Self-Service Licensing Center by license admin only and this is call rehosting license.

Rehosting step:

https://fpgasupport.intel.com/Licensing/license/index.html (Licensing Center Home) 

Step 1: Click the Self Service Licensing Center link

Step 2: Select Computers and License Files tab

Step 3: Select the Host ID to change by clicking the pencil icon in the Update Computer

column.

Step 4: Change the Host ID or any field value displayed on the screen. However, a change of

Host ID will only be considered as re-host.

Step 5: Click Submit button

Apparently I do not have permissions for this nor does the "Sign in or register" button exist on the page of the link provided (see below).

Keep in mind that I just created my Intel account and absolutely no products or support are associated with my account.  My previous account (with the appropriately purchased software and licenses) was with Altera, so there's clearly a disconnect and I'm quite curious on how the license will be rehosted when Intel is not aware of any of these details.

I have access to the Self Service License Center now but as expected, it has no record of our previous licenses, computers, or license files so the license cannot be "rehosted" as in normal circumstances.  Our last license file was generated 2015ish (Altera Quartus v15) so it's beyond the "legacy license generator" as well.

Please advise...
