Transferring Hosts
Transfer Hosts allows you to transfer fulfillments from one or more hosts to a related account.
Note:When a host is moved, entitlements that belong to devices assigned to that host are moved as well. The result of the move is to either create new entitlements for the target account or to pool the line items—incrementing the counts of the target account's existing (and matching) entitlements by the counts on the hosts' entitlements that were moved.

Yes—If matching entitlements exist in the target account, those entitlements are incremented by the counts in the hosts’ entitlements. Otherwise, if no matching entitlements exist, new entitlements are created at the target account. |
