You will be notified by either the CoF Helpdesk or Amy Donnelly (COSINe) when the annual license is renewed. If you have been using a hardware key (dongle), they are no longer required as of April 2009. To convert to the keyless licensing, you will need to do the following:

1. Install an update to the license manager (available on the ESRI updates site at http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=downloads.patchesServicePacks.viewPatch&PID=43&MetaID=1394 and also from the download server)
2. Send Amy Donnelly the computer information to generate a new license file, and include the FlexIm/MAC physical address of the computer (instead of a hardware key number)
3. Apply the new license file using the updated license manager
