SUMMARY
Foundry login-based licensing gives you the flexibility to easily use your license on different machines when or if you need to.
Individual login-based licensing allows you to activate up to two machines at a time.
When you need to deactivate your product from a machine so you can activate it elsewhere, you can either deactivate it directly from the program or through the Foundry website.
You can view your current login licenses and entitlements by logging in to foundry.com and visiting the Login Licenses page.
Note: These steps are for individual licenses only. If you are using a teams license, the steps to de-activate a teams license can be found here: Q100661: How to deactivate your teams login-based license
DEACTIVATING THROUGH THE WEBSITE
You can deactivate the individual login-based license from your activated machine through the Login Licenses page on the Foundry website by following the steps below. This is useful if you need to use your license at home but forgot to log out of the software on another machine.
Steps:
-
Login into your Foundry.com account and click Login Licenses in the Menu bar on the left of the screen.
- The page will display a list of your login licenses along with a number of active seats.
Note: If your account is tied to a set of Team Licenses, please make sure you have Individual Licenses selected - Hover over the Actions menu next to your chosen license and click Manage seats.
- Click Release on the device you wish to deactivate.
