Abstract
A digital license is migrated from a source platform to a target platform. At the source platform, a migration image is produced to include the license and corresponding data therein, and the license is deleted from such source platform. At the target platform, permission is requested from a centralized migration service to migrate the license in the migration image to the target platform. The migration service determines whether to permit migration of the license based on predetermined migration policy. Upon receiving the requested permission as a response from the migration service, the migration image is applied to the target platform by un-tying the license from the source platform and re-tying the license to the target platform.
