Q4 2025: Test Migration

Part 1: What is "EPLAN Rehost"? (Definition & Core Concepts)
In EPLAN’s terminology, "Rehost" refers to the formal process of transferring an existing software license from one hardware environment (or user) to another. Unlike a simple deactivation/activation, a rehost is a tracked, auditable event that updates the license’s binding signature—often the CmContainer ID or the local machine’s hardware fingerprint.
Costs & Licensing Fine Print (2026 Update)
EPLAN ReHost 2026 is not free in all cases: eplan rehost 2026
- Subscription licenses (EPLAN Cloud, rental): ReHost is included at no extra cost.
- Perpetual licenses with active maintenance: One free ReHost per 12 months; each additional costs €150–€300 (depending on region).
- Perpetual licenses without maintenance: ReHost is blocked unless back‑maintenance fees are paid.
- Dongle‑to‑Softlock conversion: Requires a one‑time fee (approx. €250) plus shipping of the physical dongle back to EPLAN (within 60 days).
Important: As of 2026, EPLAN no longer supports rehosting licenses to Windows 10 systems without the 2026‑03 cumulative security update. Check system requirements before initiating. EPLAN Rehost 2026: The Ultimate Guide to Licensing,
