Controlled rehosting for FNE

It is possible to restrict the ability to return licenses to assigned users only - Controlled Re-hosting. This reduces the chance that licenses are removed accidentally, which could upset running production systems. 
 
 About this task 
 Using FNE licensing technology, you can perform license re-hosting and move licenses between FNE license servers. 
 License re-hosting consists of two tasks: 
 
 Removal of the license from a license server and returning it back to its entitlement in the Advantest licensing web portal. 
 Re-activation of the returned license onto another license server. 
 
 
 
 Note: Activating controlled re-hosting only limits the capability to return/remove licenses from the FNE license server . The are no limitations for users to perform activation of licenses onto FNE license servers. 
 
 
 Activating controlled re-hosting for your worldwide Master Organization in the Advantest entitlement management system, initially disables all assigned users at your subsidiary organizations from license re-hosting (returning licenses to its entitlement). 
 Users can be assigned one of the following roles : 
 
 Administrator 
     License re-hosting privileges for all worldwide subsidiaries and any subsidiaries added in the future. 
 Authorized users 
     Authorized for license re-hosting for specified subsidiary organizations. 
 Users 
     Assigned to a specific subsidiary and can activate licenses only onto the license servers registered for the same subsidiary organization. 
 
 
 Users can be designated to perform license re-hosting for FNE servers and entitlements by enabling the functionality for specified subsidiary organizations. 
 To enable Controlled Re-hosting, it must be explicitly requested from Advantest as follows:
