# Updating Existing Node-Lock Licenses

If both of these apply to you, then you have found the correct article:

- I’m using **node-lock** licenses
- I’m extending/updating my existing licenses

We will extend and update your Capvidia software licenses on the Capvidia License Server to receive continued software updates & services.

(If you are looking for a different licensing page, see [Licensing Help](/v1/docs/licensing-help))

### Generating the License Request

1. Open your Capvidia software
2. On the upper right-hand side of the screen, select the down arrow next to the question mark icon, and select **Change License.**

4. Select 'Copy the request to the clipboard' and paste the information in a reply email to your account representative or [support@capvidia.com](mailto:support@capvidia.com).

### Waiting for Capvidia Response

Once the Capvidia Support Team gets the request, we will generate a license and send a reply email to you. We generally respond within hours, but sometimes it takes up to 1-2 business days.
