Troubleshooting

1. I cannot see the target VA while transferring the device. This can happen on Two scenarios: A) When User do not have access to the VA where he is transferring the device. B) When VA is not fully created. So, the User needs to make sure the VA is created properly and has access to avoid this issue.

2. When I move the device my license also moves along with the device. If there is a device for which licenses are reserved and in use, moving the device the license will move along with device

3. I have bulk device movement request. (This flow is applicable only for Reserved Devices). Click on the Inventory Tab in Smart software manager -> Click on the Product Instance Tab -> Select/click on check box for requested licenses/devices (Reserved) -> Click on the Action Button ->Select Your Target VA -> Click on Transfer.

If you experience an issue with this process, that you cannot address, please open a case at Support Case Manager using software licensing option.
