Once the scroll bar completes and a confirmation appears, the license is officially unlinked from that hardware. Phase 2: Activating on New Hardware
Rehosting is the formal process of from one computer to the EPLAN licensing system so it can be reactivated on another piece of hardware. This is essential for:
| Feature | EPLAN 2026 | E3.series | AutoCAD Electrical 2026 | See Electrical | |---------|------------|-----------|-------------------------|----------------| | Cost per rehost (over limit) | €150–€300 | Free (first 5/year) | Free (unlimited, tied to Autodesk ID) | €99 per request | | Online self-service rehost | Yes (cloud) | Yes | Yes (User Account) | No (email required) | | Offline rehost allowed? | Limited (special request) | Yes (export/import) | No | Yes (dongle-based) | | Automated rollback on failure | Yes (2026 feature) | No | Yes (via Autodesk desktop app) | No |

No, it is not mandatory. EPLAN states that an existing License Manager (at least Version 2025) should continue to work with new clients, though for full feature support and future compatibility, upgrading the License Manager to 2026 is recommended.
