Cloud Agent Cross-Platform Relocation

Cloud Agent for Windows supports cross-platform relocation also referred as Cloud Agent rehoming. With this option, you can relocate a Cloud Agent installed on one Qualys platform to another without reinstalling it.

You can use this feature to meet compliance regulations, or if you are moving from one Qualys platform to another for data residency compliance, performance optimization, or platform upgrades.

For example, Cloud Agent installed on the US01 platform can be relocated to the US02 platform, without reinstallation.

Execute the following command in the command-line tool to relocate a Cloud Agent.

c:\Program Files\Qualys\QualysAgent\QualysConfigUtility.exe /Rehoming  {Customer ID} {Activation ID}  {Target_Platform_URL}

Where, 

• Customer ID — Enter the Customer ID for the subscription
• Activation ID — Enter the Cloud Agent Activation ID
• Target_Platform_URL — Enter the platform URL where you want to relocate the Cloud Agent. To know the Platform URL, refer to Identify your Qualys Platform.

Cloud Agent Cross-Platform Relocation feature is available for Cloud Agent for Windows 6.2 and later versions.
