The following page lists the HTTP operations that need to be performed to successfully deactivate an LAC license. The client can successfully use the methods described below if the server is configured to support a given combination of methods.
Each web service that a client wishes to interact with has two parts: request parameters and the response, as described below.
To deactivate a license for a given, unique combination of the activation key and HostID, use the following request:
DELETE /licenses/(activation_key)/(hostids)
where the request parameters are as follows:
- activation_key (string) (Your product activation key), and
- hostids (base64) are encoded hostids.
(Note that request headers are used by default.)
