While using your Vicon software, you may find that you want to temporarily use a seat from a license on a machine that is not on the license server network (this is known as commuter licensing), or that you need to permanently move the license from one machine to another, which usually involves revoking a license.

> ⚠️ **Important**  
> ⚠️ To permanently move a license that was originally requested and activated using the Vicon EMS portal, first revoke it as described in [Revoke a license](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LicenseManagement/pages/820609138), including emailing Vicon Support for validation.
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ Wait until you receive a Vicon email with the subject line **Revocation Confirmation** from **noreply@salesforce.com** that contains a Product Key (PKID), confirming that the relevant seats have been recredited to you.
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ You can then go to the EMS portal to [request and activate a license](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LicenseManagement/pages/820610026).
