Terminating/Removing a Licence

Generally licences terminate automatically, for example if unit metering has been enabled and all the units are consumed, however there may be instances where it is necessary to terminate a licence manually.

For example, you may wish to change a hardware component but be unable to use the 'import' facility (see previous topic) because there is no other system available. In such cases you must request the publisher to generate a new Licence Key for your software but before doing this the publisher must verify that the original licence has been terminated.

Procedure for Terminating a Licence

Click the Licence menu and select Terminate.
The Terminate Product dialog box displays the currently registered products. Select a product to terminate and click on the Terminate button.
When you have confirmed that the product should be terminated, the Termination Code is displayed. Make a note of this so that it can be verified by the publisher. When the product is re- installed the publisher will issue a new Licence Key.

Removing a Licence

The licence removal facility is normally only used by software developers and is documented in the Sheriff Licence Key Generator on-line help.
