About Revoking a License

Note: This Help discusses the license revocation process, in general, using the WlmAdmin utility. You may contact the software developer/vendor for exact terms and conditions of revoking licenses.  

Using WlmAdmin version 8.x.x (or higher), you can revoke licenses. License revocation can be useful in the following scenarios:

• Returning unused licenses – For example, you may want to return/exchange the licenses you bought earlier but are no longer required.     
• Transferring licenses from one network to another – For example, you may want to distribute some of your licenses to another office/division without setting up any connectivity between them. The new licenses received from the developer—in lieu of the revoked licenses—can be deployed at the relocated network.       

For steps on revoking a license, see generating and copying the password file.

License Types Supported for License Revocation

All types of licenses, except the following, can be revoked. You can use the WlmAdmin utility to know the license type:

• Stand-alone license
• Trial licenses
• Capacity license
• Redundant license

Note: License with infinite tokens will be revoked completely with the condition that no token should be in use currently. The license will become unusable after revocation.
