How do I update my license for a Contact Verification Server?

Answer
  1. Go to Environment Variables (Right Click on My Computer, go to Properties, then Advanced System Settings, and click on the Environment Variables button.)
  2. Find the MD_LICENSE variable under system variables.
  3. Replace that value with the new license. Click OK.
  4. Reset IIS for the web service to pick up the new license. (Open a command window, type “iisreset”. This will take down the service for a few seconds as it resets.)
