About this task

A BLM can transfer a license ordered by a branch to a customer of the branch (customers are associated with a branch if they are linked to that branch). A BLM can also search for a customer not associated with the branch and transfer the license to that customer. The search is performed against all direct customers in Salesforce. A BLM cannot transfer a license to an ABCS or a customer of an ABCS. When a BLM transfers a license, you can select the customer's parent account, any child accounts of the parent, or any locations associated with either a parent account or child account. Once a license is transferred to a parent, child or location, the selected parent child or location is considered the location for the license and the name of the parent, child or location is displayed in the Location column in the Licenses tab for that customer. To transfer the ownership of a software license, complete the following steps:

Procedure
