  1. Access the configuration file at: C:\Program Files\Idera\Idera SQL diagnostic manager\License Manager.
     
  2. Right-click the License Manager Utility.exe.config file to open.

  3. Update the tags under appSettings to:  <add key="ServiceUrl" value="https://licensemanager.idera.com/LMService/Service.svc/"/> and <add key="ForgotPasswordUrl" value="http://idera.force.com/apex/PortalForgotPassword"/>.

  4.   Save and exit.
