licenses and click Remove license on the toolbar. To remove a license that is in use, you need to
revoke (p. 378) it first.

Revoking makes used licenses available again. You may need it in the following cases:

A component that requires a license (such as an agent) is uninstalled from the machine.
Revoke the license from the machine either before or after uninstalling the component.

A managed machine is taken out of service permanently.
Revoke the license from the machine either before or after taking out the machine.
Make sure that revoking and subsequent reusing the license does not contradict the license
agreement and other legal requirements.
To revoke a license:
Expand the required product and then expand the key.

If the license key is used by a single machine, click Revoke license on the toolbar.

If the license key is used by multiple machines, click Show machines that use the license. In the
appearing window, select the host from which you wish to revoke the license (see the Host name
column) and click Revoke license.
