Create license package

Overview

Use the Create License Package workflow to migrate previously deployed named user or trial packages to serial number licenses or device licenses.

The Create License Package workflow can be used for scenarios such as:

  • Migrate from Named Licensing to Serial   
  • Apply a new serial number when the old serial number is expired     
  • Migrate from Named to Device Licensing   
  • Resolve some client licensing issues       
  • Remove a Volume serial and use Named Licensing
