Transfering License To or From UC540/UC560 Devices
1. On the Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA), choose Maintenace > License Management. The License Management window opens up.
2. Select the license you want to update, then click Manage. The License Management Actions window opens up.
3. In the Action section of the License Management Actions window, select Transfer License to or From This Device.
The Transfer License to or From This Device option is selected if you want to do the following:
• Revoke and remove licenses from this UC540 or UC560 device and save them to a file, or
• Transfer previously saved licenses to another UC540 or UC560 device.
When you remove licenses from a UC540 or UC560:
• The licenses are stored in a file on the PC running Configuration Assistant.
• The location is displayed in the License Management Actions window.
When you transfer the license to a different UC540 or UC560 make sure that file is present on the PC running Configuration Assistant. Use the same PC to remove and transfer the licenses or copy the saved license file to same location on the PC to be used for the license transfer.
The SWIFT (Software Infrastructure and Fulfillment Technology) database is contacted and updated when licenses are revoked and transferred.
4. In the Action Details section of the window, complete settings as described below.
• Cisco.com Username
Enter your Cisco.com user ID.
• Cisco.com Password
Enter your Cisco.com password.
• E-mail
Enter a valid email address. This is the address to which notification emails from SWIFT (Software Infrastructure and Fulfillment Technology) are sent.

• Remove License and Save for Transfer
To remove licenses from one UC540 or UC560 for transfer to another UC540 or UC560.
• Transfer Previously Saved License

• Discovered Licenses
Choose the license to install from the Discovered Licenses drop-down list menu. When discovering licenses, Configuration Assistant looks only in the location in which the license was previously saved.
5. Click OK.
If you selected Remove License and Save for Transfer, when you click OK, the system connects to the SWIFT database and revokes the license. The license is removed from the UC540 or UC560 and saved to a file on the PC running Configuration Assistant. The location of the file on the local PC is displayed in the License Management Actions window.
