  1. Stop License Statistics.
  2. From the License Servers page, select the Realtime server you want to merge with an imported license server or a duplicated realtime license server.

  3. Click the Edit icon to open the Edit License Server dialog (see Editing license server information).

  4. Click the Merge tab. 

     
     
  5. From the "Select license server to merge with" field, select the source license server to merge with the realtime destination license server you are currently editing. Note that the selection list contains only servers that are valid for merging with the currently selected server. (See Combining duplicate license servers under a single server for more information about the rules for successful merging of license servers.)

  6. To automatically create an alias from the selected server upon merging, make sure the "Create alias from selected license server" option is selected. (This option is selected by default.)

  7. Click Save (if you are done, you can click Save and Close) to merge the servers.

  8. A confirmation dialog will ask you to confirm the merge. Click OK to begin the merge.

    Important: The merge will remove the selected server from License Statistics after completion and cannot be undone.
    Merging can take hours or, in some cases, days to complete. During the merge, do not modify the servers or their details, such as features. Any changes made to the servers will cancel the merge, leaving the servers as they were before beginning the merge (no data will be lost or moved and the two servers will remain separate).

    A progress bar will continue to display while the merge is in process. License Statistics will regularly check and display information about the latest status of the merging operation. You can see that the merge is complete by checking that the server is removed from the list of license servers in the License Server list in the Dashboard. If the merge is no longer running, but the license server is still listed, you can check for information about the failure of the merge in the Error log.
