To revoke licenses during product uninstall

When you uninstall a product, the Micro Focus License Manager software performs a check to see if any licenses for that product exist on your computer. If so, you will be prompted to revoke them. If you do revoke them, they will be removed and you will be given you a new authorization code. You use this new code to generate a license when you install the product on another machine.

If you are going to re-install your product on the same machine, you do not need to revoke the license. In this case, select Keep when you are prompted to revoke the license.

  1. Uninstall your product.

    A prompt will display to reallocate your licenses.

  2. Select Revoke if you want to revoke the licenses.

    The Micro Focus License System Administration tool is displayed at the Revoke tab.

  3. Select the product license you want to revoke.
  4. Click Revoke.

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

  5. Input or select the number of licenses you want to revoke.
  6. Click Revoke.

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

    Ensure that you keep the new authorization codes in a safe place. You will need them when you re-authorize your product(s) .

Note: If there is a problem accessing the Micro Focus License Authorization Server and the revoke fails, the Revoke Product Licenses dialog box will enable options to allow manual revocation. At this point your licences 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.
