Revoking Licenses

Revoking a license will cause LexActivator IsLicenseGenuine() function to invalidate the local license activation data on the user machine and return LA_FAIL status code. Any further attempt to reactivate the license using ActivateLicense() will return LA_E_REVOKED status code.

Approving the license later will require the user to reactivate the license.

Revoking a license is appropriate when the license should no longer be trusted and must be invalidated completely. Typical scenarios include:

  • Refunds or chargebacks where the entitlement is permanently removed
  • Cancellation scenarios where the existing activation must be invalidated

When a license is revoked, the client removes the local license data. If the license is later allowed again or replaced, the user must perform a fresh activation.
