# What is the process for returning equipment and FNP licenses from a customer to a leasing company?

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If a customer plans to return equipment together with licenses to a leasing company, multiple courses of action may apply, depending on the leasing company’s current requirements. The license status will vary based on the specific scenario.</span>

<p class="callout success">**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As it is not a FNP-to-FNP rehosting, we suggest opening a LIST ticket for the request</span>**</p>

##### <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">1. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The leasing company wants to have the licenses on the FNE server</span>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;">Here we would recommend **adapting the organization** to the organization of the leasing company and then to do a **migration of the FNP licenses to the FNE server** registered/owned by the leasing company.<span style="background-color: rgb(191, 237, 210);"> <span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">The status of the FNE licenses would be active/deployed.</span></span></span>

##### <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2. The leasing company currently does not need the licenses </span>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;">In this case we would recommend **adapting the organization** to the organization of the leasing company and then **to return the FNP licenses**. <span style="background-color: rgb(251, 238, 184);"><span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">The status of the FNP licenses would be active/deployed and with the next renewal, the expiration date would be prolonged to 31-Mar-2028</span>.</span> But for sure before this expiration or at the time of expiration, the licenses need to be converted to FNE.</span>

##### <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3. You do not know what the leasing company prefers, you just know that the licenses shall be returned to the leasing company </span>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;">Then we would recommend the **same action as in case 2.**</span>
