TestStand license problem

[racdradzi]

Hi 

When installing the TestStand, I believe it being tide up with 2 things, Computer ID(Hard Disk Volume) and Ethernet MAC address.

I would like to know, is there any ways to make the TestStand License being tide up forever with the hard disk volume Serial Number rather than Ethernet MAC address?

This is because, my testing approach is like below:

1.Install TestStand - Deployment version inside a laptop A.

2.Take out the hard disk from laptop A and put into another laptop (laptop B).

3.Boot the laptop B that using the laptop A hard disk. 

4. Once done execute the testing in laptop B, take out the hard disk and put it to another laptop (laptop C)

5.Repeat step 3 to 4 for another laptop.

I am not running the TestStand at the same time.

With this method, will the license have the tendency to corrupt?

Another question is, 

is the TestStand Deploy license still can be reuse if the hard disk need to be reformat?

Can i use another laptop to install it or do i need to use laptop A?

If you need to activate a license on a different machine. Then de-activate it using the NI License Manager on the old machine, and then go to ni.com/activate and activate it on the new machine.
