Smart license are not installed on your router. Its available on your smart account. License available on smart account can be transferred between virtual accounts. 

Create a virtual account for site B and transfer from default or site A VA to new VA B.

Hi @Nithin Eluvathingal 

Have a nice day.

When purchasing a cube smart license does it mean that it is not based on the serial number?

It means that even if the serial number is different, it can be transferred in CSSM, right?

Thank You

With Smart Licensing the licenses are hardware agnostic, meaning that they are not tied to any specific router. From a specific version, 17.2 I believe, the SIP session licenses are pooled in the SSM VA and will be used dynamically by the SBCs. In earlier versions SIP sessions are statically configured in each router by the command mode border-element license capacity <sessions>.

As @Roger Kallberg mentioned, licenses  are not associated with serial.And licenses are pooled.Means it consume the license based on the usage.

If you want to separate  site A and Site B licenses, on CSSM create different virtual account and transfer the license.

No harm, if you keep in the same VA.
