Upgrade license

This option is used when you already have used a previous version of Biomedical Genomics Workbench, and you are entitled to upgrade to a new major version. The Workbench will need direct access to the external network to use this option.

When you click on the Next button, the Workbench will search for a previous installation of Biomedical Genomics Workbench. It will then locate the old license.

If the Workbench finds an existing license file, the next dialog will look like figure 1.14.

When you click on the Next button, the Workbench checks if you are entitled to upgrade your license. This is done by contacting QIAGEN Aarhus servers.

Your license must be covered by our Maintenance, Upgrades and Support (MUS) program to be eligible to upgrade your license. If the license is covered for upgrades and there are any problems with this, please contact licenses@clcbio.com.

In this dialog, there are two options:

If you select the option to download a license directly and it turns out that the Workbench does not have direct access to the external network, (because of a firewall, proxy server etc.), you can click Previous button to try the other method.

After selection on your method of choice, click on the button labeled Next.
