# Rehosting FlexNet Embedded licenses

It is possible to move licenses between FlexNet Embedded license servers.

<p class="callout warning">Note: Changes will not apply to the server without synchronization (online server) or upload the license file (online and offline server).</p>

<div id="bkmrk-procedure-go-to-the-"><section>### **Procedure**

1. Go to the Advantest License Portal: [https://license.advantest.com/](https://license.advantest.com/) and login.
2. Go to the **<span class="uicontrol">License Management</span>** tab.
3. In the "Re-host Licenses" section, select **<span class="uicontrol">Re-host Licenses</span>.**
4. Select one of the following options (re-host based upon the license server or based upon an entitlement):
    
    
    - **<span class="uicontrol">By license server</span>** - a list of license servers IDs is displayed
    - **<span class="uicontrol">By entitlement</span>** - a list of entitlement IDs is displayed
5. Select a license server or entitlement as appropriate and click **<span class="uicontrol">Continue</span>**.
6. Enter the **Re-host count** (number of licenses that you want to re-host) and click **<span class="uicontrol">Continue</span>**.
    
    ***<span class="uicontrol">Fill all</span>*** - enters Re-host count for all available licenses (visible with the filter).
    
    ***<span class="uicontrol">Clear all</span>*** - reverts the selections to the original values on the initial license server.
7. Review the re-hosting summary.
8. When you are sure that the information has been entered correctly, click **<span class="uicontrol">Apply License Count Changes</span>.**
    
    The Download license files page is displayed.
9. If your license server is connected to the internet, synchronization with the back office with **server viewer's synchronization tab**, or perform the command **<kbd class="userinput">sync-fne-server</kbd>**<kbd class="userinput">, or wait the **automatic synchronization in every 12-hour**. </kbd>
    
    If the license server is not connected to the internet, download or email the zip file and upload it with the **server viewer's Offline server update tab** to remove the licenses from the server. After removing the licenses from the server **Download** the confirmation file on the **server viewer's Offline server update tab.** The confirmation file needs to be uploaded to the Advantest Licensing Back-Office to confirm that the licenses have been removed from the server in the next step.
10. If the license server is connected to the internet, close the **<span class="wintitle">Removal Confirmation</span>** dialog box.
    
    If the license server is not connected to the internet, click **<span class="uicontrol">Upload </span>**<span class="uicontrol">in the </span>**<span class="uicontrol">Removal Confirmation </span>**<span class="uicontrol">dialog box </span><span class="uicontrol">(if you have closed the **Removal Confirmation** dialog box accidentally, you can do the upload via **Upload Removal Confirmation File (offline server only)** on the **License Management** tab).</span>
11. In order to activate the removed licenses to another license server follow the instruction to [activate licenses](https://lhc.advantest.com/books/activating-licenses/page/activating-licenses "activate licenses").
