Deactivate Local Licenses Offline

If you no longer require a local license, such as an expired trial license, you can deactivate it using the Deactivate action.

It's important to note that if you intend to reinstall the deactivated license in the future, you should use the Transfer Local Licenses Offline procedure instead. This ensures that you can save the license activation codes for reuse at a later time.

  1. Launch Thermo Scientific License Manager.
  2. In the Local Licenses screen:
    • Select Deactivate to deactivate an entire suite of product licenses.
    • Click Deactivate button to deactivate a single license.

  3. In the Deactivation mode display, click Offline deactivation.
  4. In the Deactivate License(s) display, confirm the deactivation by clicking the Continue button.

Follow these steps for offline deactivation:

  1. Click Create request file in the Offline license Deactivation (1/3) screen.
