License Transfer Between Two Working Devices
Cisco supports fully automated, customer-initiated, no-questions-asked transfer of licenses. Transferring a license between two working devices is accomplished by using a process known as rehosting. The rehosting process transfers a license from one UDI to another by revoking the license from the source device and installing it on a new device.
You perform a license transfer (rehosting) by using one of the following:
•
Cisco Product License Registration portal
•Cisco IOS License Call Home commands
•Cisco License Manager application
Figure 5 shows the processes involved for rehosting (transferring) a license.
Figure 5 License Transfer Work Flow
The following summary is for a license transfer process by using the Cisco Product License Registration portal:
1. You obtain the UDI and device credentials from the source and destination devices by using Cisco IOS commands. For more information, see the Configuring the Cisco IOS Software Activation Feature module.
2. You contact the Product License Registration page on Cisco.com, and you enter the source device credentials and the UDI into the license transfer portal tool.
3. The portal displays licenses that can be transferred from the source device.
Select the licenses that need to be transferred. A permission ticked is issued. You can use this permission ticket to start the rehost process by using Cisco IOS commands.
4. You apply the permissions ticket to the source device by using the license revoke command as described in the Configuring the Cisco IOS Software Activation Feature module. The source device then provides a rehost ticket indicating proof of revocation. A 60-day grace period license is also installed on the device to allow enough time to transfer the licenses to the destination device.
5. You enter the rehost ticket into the license transfer portal tool on Cisco.com along with the destination device UDI.
6. You receive the license key through e-mail.
7. You install the license key on the destination device.
After you execute the license call-home resend command, the source device contacts the Cisco Product License Registration portal and obtains a license key for the destination device after revoking it from the source device. The license key stored on the source device can then be installed on the destination device to complete the transfer.
By using Cisco License Manager, you can select the source and destination devices from a GUI wizard for automated processing.
