How to Move a License to Another Device

You can move a license from one device to another device by removing it from device A and then assigning it to device B.

Feature Requires License

License portability requires a valid subscription. This applies to both IGEL OS 11 and IGEL OS 12. When the subscription expires, licenses cannot be moved between devices anymore.

  3. Click  Manage  in the appropriate list entry to open the management dialog.
    The management dialog opens.
