- Organization of this subsection
(1) Transferring a software asset together with its license key
To change the managerial group of a license:
-
Search for the software asset whose managerial group is to be changed.
-
In the search results list, select the check box for the software asset whose managerial group is to be changed.
-
In Number of objects, specify the number of licenses to be changed.
-
Click the Transfer button.
The Set Destination dialog box is displayed.
To cancel, click the Close button.
-
In the Destination Group tab, specify the target group.
-
In the Transfer Key tab, select the check box for the key information to be transferred.
If you do not manage license assignment, skip this step.
-
In the Destination Group tab, click the OK button.
The Set Destination dialog box closes, and the specified number of licenses are transferred.
The purchase price and points are managed for each software asset (they are not divided or consolidated depending on the number of licenses). Therefore, the target group inherits the purchase price and points of the software asset as is.

(2) Transferring freeware and unlimited license software
When you transfer freeware and unlimited license software, you specify whether the transfer source information is to be deleted from the Set Destination dialog box.
To delete, select the Delete freeware or unlimited license check box, and then click the OK button.
When you transfer with this setting, the number of licenses in the software asset information of the transfer source becomes 0. If the software asset information of the transfer source is not needed, delete it from the Software List window.
If software already exists in the transfer destination group with the same asset number, then if either the transfer source or the transfer destination is an unlimited license, the license is unlimited after the transfer.
