11.2.13 Transferring software licenses
You can transfer software licenses that have already been allocated to a device to another device.The types of devices between which you can transfer software licenses are PCs, servers, printers, network devices, and unknown devices.
When a device is replaced, you can transfer the software licenses that were allocated to the old device to a new device. You can also batch-transfer all software licenses that are allocated to multiple devices, so the transfer operation is simple.
- Important
-
If the same type of the software license is already allocated to the destination device, the software license cannot be transferred. In this case, remove the allocation of the software license from the destination device first.
- Note
-
To transfer, to a new device, the software licenses of a device to be deleted by device maintenance, transfer the software licenses before the device is automatically deleted. Alternatively, temporarily exclude the device from the target of automatic deletion until transfer of the software licenses is completed.

-
From Action, select Move Software Licenses.

The software licenses are transferred to the selected device. The allocation of the software licenses is removed from the source device.
