Why is it needed to buy licenses when moving and you can’t transfer licenses when closing a location?

To date, the move function has appeared only in the Google catalog. Technically, moving from closing a point differs only in that the card is assigned the Moved status, and not the Closed Forever status. Two cards remain on the maps, but they are not replaced, but only pull up information on the previous point to a new card.

We also transfer each point to other catalogs (Open Street Map, CityMaps2go, Maps.me, Here, Waze, Here WeGo, Garmin, 2GIS Navigators (URBI), etc.). These catalogs do not provide a relocation function, in this regard, the former point is assigned the Closed Forever status and a new point is created.


The time costs on our part (from the registration of the relocation or closure of the point to the restoration of the previous synchronization level at the new point) range from 3 to 26 days. This is because the information in some catalogs is placed and updated up to a month. For instance, on 2GIS (URBI) and OSM.


Also, the account manager continues to monitor the relocated or closed point so that the information on the move/closure is up to date. That is why it is necessary to purchase a license when moving and you cannot transfer licenses when closing a location.
