Using user-based licensing

3.4 Deactivate your product

Deactivating a product removes the license for your Arm® software product from a device.

About this task

Deactivating is required when you want to activate a different product with overlapping

capabilities, for example when upgrading from an evaluation to a full product. Deactivating might

also be required to investigate license configuration issues.

• There is no need to deactivate your product when using your Arm product on a

different device. The license is associated with the user and not the devices the

license is used on.

• Deactivating a license is an activity local to your device. It does not affect the

reservation of the corresponding license seat on the license server.

Procedure

You can deactivate your license using an activation code or the product code:

◦ Deactivate an activation code license using the following command:

armlm deactivate --code <activation_code>

◦ Deactivate a license server license using the following product code:

armlm deactivate --product <product_code>

You can find your product code using the armlm inspect command.
