Deactivation methods
Same with activating a Floating license, this process requires the FlexNet license manager activation utility, where the license is hosted.
There are two methods of deactivating Floating trusted storage license.
- Online deactivation (deprecated) - only offline deactivation is supported.
- Offline deactivation - This method is done by generating an 'offline requestXML file' and sending this to Lumerical. A 'responseXML file' will be provided to complete the activation process.
Online deactivation (deprecated)
