Q100661: How to deactivate your teams login-based license

Follow

SUMMARY

When activating a teams license on your machine, a preference folder is saved to your machine so you do not need to log in each time you launch the software. More information on this can be found here: Q100662: What is Teams licensing and how does it work?

Closing down the application after use will automatically return the license seat back to the teams licensing pool. The license will then be available for other users to activate.
However, if you no longer wish to use the teams license and want to remove this from your machine, you can do so by deactivating the license from your machine.

Note: These steps are for teams licenses only. If you are using an individual license, the steps to deactivate an individual license can be found here: Q100586: How to deactivate your individual login-based license
