hi,

yes, you can do this by rehosting the said license.

but i usually contact cisco TAC to do it for me :)

Rehosting a License

Prerequisites:

• Valid Cisco.com account (username/password)

• Retrieve Product Id and Serial Number with either the IOS "show license udi" command or label tray from both the source and destination devices.

• Retrieve Source Device Credentials by issue the following IOS commands in exec mode:

– license save credential flash0:CredentialFileName

– more flash0:CredentialFileName

• The source device has rehostable licenses.
