Defining a Cancellation Product

A Cancellation Product cancels the license terms of another Product. You may want to use a Cancellation Product to:

>Revoke a deployed license.

>Cancel the license for a Product that has been returned before its license terms have expired.

When you define a Cancellation Product, you can cancel the license terms for each Feature in the selected Product. Changes made to the memory data overwrite the original data.

If a Cancellation Product has not yet been included in an Entitlement, you can edit its properties.

To define a Cancellation Product:

1.Open the Create Cancellation Product page, if it is not displayed. Show me how

a.Open the Products tab (Catalog > Products).

c.Select the Product for which you want to create the Cancellation Product, click , and select Cancellation. The Create Cancellation Product page opens.

2.In the Name box, enter a name for the product (must be unique in the batch, maximum 50 characters). The name is case-insensitive, so Trial, TRIAL, and trial are considered identical.

3.(Optional) Click the Add Description link and add a description to the Product (maximum 510 characters).

4.(Optional) Enter Ref ID 1 and Ref ID 2 (maximum 250 characters). You can enter information that identifies the Product in a different system, for example, a Product code in your company's ERP system.
