Rehost an activation from a computer with Internet access

Rehosting an activation removes the activation from either the current host computer or dongle and returns it to the pool of activations on the activation server.
For concurrent activations with a quantity greater than 1, there is the option to select a quantity less than the total activations. This leaves a quantity of the activations on the local computer while allowing the rest of the activations to become available for download to other computers. By default, all activations are removed from the local computer.
Before you begin:
  • If rehosting a dongle-based activation, insert the dongle into the USB port of the Internet connected computer.

  1. Click
