Online Return

The online return process uses the internet to exchange capability information between your license server and the back office to return licenses to the back office. This is the traditional method for returning licenses.

The following procedure assumes that licenses are available on the license server.

To return license rights to the back office

1.

Run a command similar to the following:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL -activate -id act1 -count 0 

These options are used:

•

-id to specify the activation ID (in this example, act1) containing the license rights.

•

-count to specify the number of copies (in this case, 0) of the activation ID that should be available on the license server after licenses have been returned. If you specify 0, all licenses are returned to the back office.

If you want to provide multiple activation IDs, repeat the -activate option:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL -activate -id act1 -count 0 -activate -id act2 ‑count 0 

2.
