Rehosting a License

To rehost a license, perform the following steps.

To rehost a license because a customer wants to change a host ID:

1.

Click License Support > List Licenses.

2.

Search for a fulfillment to be rehosted. Search by Activation ID, Product, Sold To, Hostid, or Fulfill ID.

3.

Check exactly one fulfillment ID and click Action > Rehost.

4.

Verify that you want to rehost the license. The license won’t actually be rehosted until the Rehost button is clicked later in the process.

5.

Enter a Ship to Email and/or a Ship to Mail address, if applicable.

6.

Replace the original host ID with the one to be used for the new license. No other license model attributes can be changed.

7.

The Rehost Count shows the entire fulfill count of the fulfillment. If you want to rehost only part of the original fulfill count, specify that amount.

8.

The Rehost Overdraft Count shows the entire overdraft count of the fulfillment. If you want to rehost only part of the original overdraft count, specify that amount.

9.

To check that the parameter values can be used to generate a valid license before actually generating a license, click the Verify button. To generate a rehosted license certificate, click the Rehost button.

10.

After a license is generated, the license text is displayed. The license text can be saved to a file on disk by clicking the Save To File button or it can be sent as an email attachment by clicking the Email button.

The new fulfillment will be displayed as MASTER and the original fulfillment's support type will be called REHOST.
