Transferring Hosts

FlexNet Operations 2014

Transfer Hosts allows you to transfer fulfillments from one or more hosts to a related organization.

Note: When a host is moved, entitlements that belong to devices assigned to that host are moved as well. The result of the move is to either create new entitlements for the target organization or to pool the line items—incrementing the counts of the target organization's existing (and matching) entitlements by the counts on the hosts' entitlements that were moved.

To transfer hosts

1. In the Administrative Console, click Support Licenses > Manage Hosts. On the Manage Hosts page you can select hosts to transfer.
2. On the Manage Hosts page, select the hosts you want to transfer and click Transfer. This button opens the Transfer Hosts page.
3. On the Transfer Hosts page, set the Target Organization:
a. Click the Search Organization button to open the Select Organization page in a pop up window.
b. Select the customer organization to which you want to move the selected hosts.
c. Click OK. This button closes the Select Organization window and returns you to the Transfer Hosts page. Note that the Target Organization is now set to the organization you selected.
4. Next, choose a setting for Pool Line Items:
Yes—If matching entitlements exist in the target organization, those entitlements are incremented by the counts in the hosts’ entitlements. Otherwise, if no matching entitlements exist, new entitlements are created at the target organization.
NoFlexNet Operations creates new entitlements at the target organization, even if matching entitlements already exist.
5. Click Transfer. FlexNet Operations queues the transfer for processing.
6. Click Complete.

Note: You can check the status of the host transfer job by its Job ID on the Host/Device Transfer Jobs page. To go to the Host/Device Transfer Jobs page, click Administer Operations > Host/Device Transfer Jobs (listed under the System Information heading).
