Revoking licenses when you have an Internet connection

Note: This topic only applies for licenses installed with an authorization code.

You must revoke licenses if, for example, you want to move your product to a different machine or if you no longer use your product and want to reallocate the license.

  1. Start Micro Focus License Administration.
  2. Click the Summary tab.
  3. On the Summary page, select the product license you want to revoke.
  4. In the Uninstall column, click Revoke.

    After a check is made to ensure no licensed products are running, the Revoke Product Licenses dialog box is displayed.

  5. Specify the number of licenses you want to revoke.
  6. Click Revoke.

A new authorization code for each revoked license is generated and saved to a file on your computer. The file location and the new codes are displayed on the screen.

Ensure that you keep the new authorization codes in a safe place. You need them to reauthorize products.

Important: If there is a problem accessing the Micro Focus License Authorization Server and the revocation fails, the Revoke Product Licenses dialog box enables options to allow manual revocation. At this point, your licenses are revoked and cannot be used. To obtain an authorization code, you must send the License Revocation Tickets (LRTs) to Micro Focus, either by pasting them into the revoke Web page or by sending the indicated file to your SupportLine representative.
  1. Copy the whole character string displayed in the text box at the bottom of the Revoke Product Licenses dialog box. This string contains the License Revocation Tickets (LRTs) that are required to issue a new authorization code.
  2. Click the web page link to open the Micro Focus SafeNet License Revocation Web page.
  3. Paste the copied string in the text box, then click Generate.

    The new authorization code is displayed. Ensure you keep the new codes in a safe place as you need them to reauthorize products.

  4. Copy the whole character string displayed in the text box at the bottom of the Revoke Product Licenses dialog box.
  5. Paste the string into an email and send it to your SupportLine representative.
