There are 2 types of licenses:

  • Perpentual – can be transferred to a similar model from the same manufacturer.
  • Yearly – can be transferred to any model from any manufacturer. Licenses purchased mid-term are prorated

Renew yearly licenses from the same place you originally purchased them. Options are: Google Admin Console, Authorized partner, or directly from google. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6080658?hl=en&ref_topic=2707600
