Deactivating a License

You can deactivate individual licenses and activate them on a different site. For example if you are upgrading your server hardware, you can deactivate the license on the older server then activate the same license on the new server.

NOTE: There is a limit to the number of times a license can be deactivated. If you encounter an error while activating a previously deactivated license, this may be the issue. Contact Avigilon Technical Support for help.
