About this task

Use this functionality to move activated license entitlements from one License Host to another. You can chose to move all or a specified quantity of license entitlements.

Note:

If you move a specified number of activated license entitlements from one host to another by using the Rehost/Move transaction in PLDS, two new license files are generated:

  • One license file reduces the number of license entitlements on the License Host from which you are moving license entitlements.

  • One license file increases the number of license entitlements on the License Host to which you are moving license entitlements.

Install each of these license files on the appropriate server.

If you move all activated license entitlements, only one license file is generated. Install this new license file on the License Host to which you are moving license entitlements. Remove the license file from the License Host from which you are moving all license entitlements.
