Systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate transfer of licenses corresponding to hosted services. Customers may purchase licenses to services implemented by a hosted computing environment. Thereafter, customers may elect to transfer all or a portion of that license to a second customer. In some embodiments, a customer may transfer the entirety of their service license. In other embodiments, a customer may transfer only a portion of their service license. In still more embodiments, a customer may temporarily transfer a license. For example, a customer may transfer a license only when they are not using the license.
