QC 11 licenses change impact

Question

Customer wants to replace old licenses of QC 11 enterprise with new licenses, whether the data available in Quality Center 11 database or access to Quality Center will have any impact. Whether all the existing data will be accessible with new licenses? Will there be any data loss?
Whether we need to re-install the complete QC setup and restore the data with new licenses?

Answer

Changing QC 11 old licenses with new ones would not have any impact on data, the data in QC database would not be lost.
If the new licenses are accessible to all modules as the old licenses do, there is no impact on the data access.
You don’t need to re-install QC, new licenses can be added via QC site admin page, more details and steps please refer to “Chapter 6 • Managing User Connections and Licenses” (page 151) of ALM ALM11.00_Administrator.
