Deactivation methods
There are two methods of deactivating Node trusted storage license.
- Online deactivation mode - requires an Internet connection and is generally faster and easier.
This is the recommended method of deactivating your license. - Offline deactivation mode - is an alternative method when there is No Internet Connection on the machine where the license is currently activated. This is done by generating an 'offline requestXML file' and sending this to Lumerical. A 'responseXML file' will be provided to complete the activation process. Offline method is only available for Purchased Licenses.
