Deregistering a License (Express Method)

The following procedure is the quickest and easiest way to deregister a license. This method requires that your computer be able to communicate directly with the Cisco Solutions license-registration server over the Internet, either directly or using a proxy server.

Note The Express method can fail due to firewall restrictions, socket or proxy errors, or transaction time-outs. If you cannot deregister the license using this method, try the Browser method (as described in the “Deregistering a License (Browser Method)” section on page 5-7).

Deregistering a Component License (Express Method)

Step 1 Start the License Manager: Go to the Windows Start menu and choose Start > Programs > Cisco Network Planning Solution 1.0 > License Manager.

Step 2 In the License Manager, expand the license file by clicking on the + sign next to the License file folder icon. Make sure the license you want to deregister is available (green).

Step 3 Select the license you want to deregister by clicking on it. To select one license, click on it. To select multiple licenses, control-click or drag on the licenses.
