Cause
Moving PME to a different server without following the correct procedure can lead to invalid licensing issues. The correct procedure for moving PME to a different server is to return the license first and then reactivate the license once the new server is set up. In most of the cases, the invalid licenses will not cause issues. However, in some situations, the PME system will see both invalid licenses and valid licenses. PME will count both licenses (when you see the license in the Management Console, you'll see every licensed modules and device license will be doubled), and treat all of them as invalid.
Resolutions
The solution is to delete the license storage and refresh the Floating License Manager. The following procedures describe how to do this. It is recommended to attempt Procedure #1 before attempting Procedure #2.
