Context

If a customer wants to split a resource license in the license order into multiple licenses for multiple devices, you can split the resource license on the ESDP system.

Procedure

Check whether the license is in Ready state.
1. Log in to the ESDP system at http://app.huawei.com/isdp.
2. Choose Order Management > Entitlement Management to open the Entitlement Management page. Select the license and click Split Entitlement.
3. Enter the entitlement ID of the license file to be split, Huawei contract number, and other necessary information, and click Search.
4. In the license list, check the delivery status of the license to be split.
  - If the license is in Activated state, roll back the license to the Ready state by referring to Rolling Back a License. Then, go to Step 2.
  - If the license is in Ready state, go to Step 2.
  - If the license is in another state, contact technical support personnel.
Select the license and click Split Entitlement on the Entitlement Management page.
Split the license in batches using either of the following methods:
- Split the license with each new license of the same capacity: Enter the number of new licenses in the Split Count text box, enter the capacity of each new license in the Split Value text box, and click Next. The Confirm Split window is displayed.
  
  The values of Split Count and Split Value comply with the following formula:
  
  Total = Split Count x Split Value + Remaining After Split
- Split the license with new licenses of different capacities: Click Add to add one or more configuration templates. In each configuration template, enter the number of new licenses in the Split Count text box, enter the capacity of each new license in the Split Value text box, and click Next. The Confirm Split window is displayed.
  
  The values of Split Count and Split Value comply with the following formula:
  
  Total = Split Count 1 x Split Value 1 + … + Split Count N x Split Value N + Remaining After Split
Click Confirm Split, and click OK in the Confirm window.
In the Split Success dialog box, click Activation License to enter the Entitlement Activation page and bind device ESNs. Alternatively, you can click Goback and Look for the entitlement of split to view the entitlements of the new licenses.
