Prerequisites
Before You Start Ensure You Have the Following: 

• Active Cisco.com account. 

• Valid Business Justification to transfer Licenses and Devices. 

• Admin access in Source SA and Destination SA.

Caution:

• Smart Account Assignment and Reassignment are always applied to the entire order line.
• At present, this self-serve capability does not account for the transfer of Software Contracts.

Note:

• Please DO NOT perform these actions yourself if you are an internal Cisco resource outside of the Licensing Support team.
• Need help finding your Cisco licenses or order provisioning status? Our 'Find My License' feature in Ask Licensing helps locate licenses across platforms (SSM, LRP, EAWS, etc) and track real-time order status from placement to completion. Visit Ask Licensing for more information.
• With the current capability assets associated to an Enterprise Agreement buying model and devices connected to an OnPrem deployment model cannot be transferred. These transactions will be disabled from selection.

Steps:
Step 1: Go to Asset Transfer Manager and log in with your Cisco.com credentials. 

Step 2: Click on Request Asset Transfer. 

Step 3: Select a Source Smart Account by searching its Name or Domain in search bar and Click Next. 

Note:

• In Asset Summary Column, when you click on Show Counts Button for the selected Smart Account, the Asset summary will display to right side of the page.

Step 4: Select Destination Smart Account and Virtual Account and Click Next 

Step 5: On the next page Asset Transfer Compliance Screening Questions will be displayed. 

By selecting:  

1. Yes: The assets are being moved to Same legal entity. 
2. No:  The assets are being moved to the different legal entity 

Select No, click on checkbox and select Transferee. 

Note:

• The Select Transferee option applies only when the assets are being moved to different legal entity.
• Until Transferee’s decision, transaction will be on hold. If the Transferee Rejects the request, the entire transaction will be rolled back, and the Transferor will be notified; else if the Transferee Approves the request, the transaction will proceed for Cisco legal screening. Now Cisco Legal has to approve the transaction to start asset transfer process else if they reject it, the complete transaction will be rolled back.

Step 6: Click Next and Select the assets for transfer. 

Step 7: Click Next and fill in the mandatory details and accept terms & conditions in Asset Transfer Request Form page. 

Step 8: Click on Submit for Review. 

Note:

• Following a successful submission, a unique “Transaction ID” is generated for the transfer.
• When Transaction status is “Pending Submission”, under the "Actions" column, click on the "Action" button for your respective Transaction ID, and follow the instructions to submit the transaction.
• Once the transaction is submitted, the Transferor will be email notified about the transaction status.
