When deprovisioning ChromeOS devices for a hardware recall and replacement with different

models, choosing the "Different model replacement" option is crucial to retain the Chrome

Education/Enterprise Upgrade license compliance. This option ensures that the license is transferred

to the new device correctly, avoiding any compliance issues or the need to repurchase licenses.

Here's why this option is important:

License Transfer: It specifically designates the deprovisioning as being due to a hardware

replacement with a different model. This triggers the system to transfer the license to the new device

upon enrollment.

Compliance: It maintains the compliance of your Chrome Education/Enterprise Upgrade licenses,

ensuring you don't violate any licensing terms.

Cost Savings: It avoids the need to purchase new licenses for the replacement devices, saving your

organization money.
