Before you start, ensure that you have:

Troubleshooting:

1. I am not getting the option to move licenses between devices, what needs to be done? Open a Licensing case at Support Case Manager (SCM) using Software Licensing option.

2. While doing the transaction to move the licenses, I am getting an error. Open a Licensing case at Support Case Manager (SCM) using Software Licensing option.

3. Error: No Product Skus in the Product Family meet the License Transfer criteria “No Product Skus in the Product Family meet the License Transfer criteria” means the selected PIDs on the source device are not eligible for Rehost operation. To Rehost the licenses, please open a Licensing case at Support Case Manager (SCM) using Software Licensing option.

If you experience an issue with this process, that you cannot address, please open a Licensing case at Support Case Manager (SCM) using Software Licensing option.
