License deactivation is the process of returning an activated license to the license pool. Such deactivation is needed, for example, on a new installation or when moving the license to another workstation or installation.
Click Help > License Manager. In the opened License Manager dialog, click Deactivate.
The HTTP Proxy Server Connection dialog may open for checking if the machine can access the Internet by authenticating the Proxy Server. If you are using the Proxy Server, click Use HTTP Proxy Server, enter required data, and click OK. The connection to the Internet is established and online licence deactivation is resumed. Otherwise, click OK and continue the offline license deactivation. |
In the Offline License Deactivation dialog, copy the text from the License Deactivation ID box.
This deactivation should be used only if the deactivation from a modeling tool is not available: in case the installation has been lost or corrupted. This will decrease the rehost limit. |
Select the license you need and click Deactivate selected.
To increase the rehost number, enter the request in the Request Rehost Increase box. As your account executive gets this message, he/she will restore rehosts. |
