How to Move Keysight Licenses
This article is part of the Licensing for Keysight Test & Measurement series of articles. It shows how to move license of all types.
Overview
Certain licenses allow you to transfer them between hosts, or "bank" them when idle. This process is sometimes incorrectly called rehosting.

Non-movable licenses
There are two (2) types of licenses that cannot be moved.
What is rehosting?
Sometimes a license gets corrupted or stuck in a move, or a Host ID changes due to reimaging a computer. When this happens, the license may need to be adjusted for a new host, a process known as “rehosting.” Only Keysight personal can perform a rehost. Please log a technical support case if you think a rehost may be applicable.
Rehosting cannot be used to move hardware, fixed, or node-locked licenses.
