A USB stick or driveIn order to transfer the activation request and license file to and from the Sense Licensing Portal, you need to copy these files to a mobile storage device. You will need these files on a computer with an internet connection.

Step 2: Deactivation

Open the deactivation wizard by clicking the Deactivate button.

Before you can start the deactivation process a dialog appears. Confirming this dialog removes the license from the server or the client directly. This cannot be rolled back! If you made a mistake but you started this process already it is better to simply continue deactivating the license and later activate the license again to restore the system.

After you completed the deactivation wizard on the Sense Licensing Portal, you are able to activate your license on a different computer.

When successfully deactivated the software license status changes and you will be able to activate your license on a different computer.
