I have computers that when transfered from one user to another the computer name is changed.  Does this get updated in Webroot for the hostname?

Hi fdelzingaro,
 
When a hostname is changed, the Webroot client on the system reports it as a new endpoint to your management console. The old hostname will still show up, so you can deactivate the product on the old hostname if you like. If you had that particular endpoint under any different settings than the default, you will have to apply the settings/policy/group again to the new endpoint name.
