Endpoint contract

Send product credential headers and the current machine identity.

POST /api/license/v1/deactivate

Deactivate this machine and release local access.

Auth
Product plugin credential. Licensing endpoints require x-ss-app-id, x-ss-plugin-key, and x-ss-plugin-secret headers, or verified body/query aliases.
Scope
Product, app, credential, environment, and machine scoped.
Request fields
  • license_key or customer/email entitlement context
  • instance_id or machine_id
Returns
status deactivated, code DEVICE_DEACTIVATED, remaining_activations.
Side effects
Sets deactivated_at on the activation, records an event, and should cause the client to delete local activation state.

Deactivation example

Delete local activation state after success. Pending claim metadata may be kept only if the user is still in a claim flow.

Client behavior

Deactivation affects the machine activation, not the serial itself.

QuestionAnswer
Does it free a device slot?It marks the activation deactivated and returns remaining activations; policy determines immediate reuse.
What should be deleted?license_key, instance_id-bound activation cache, token, status, activationId, licenseReference, grace fields, subscription/license fields.
Does the serial remain valid?The serial can remain valid unless the serial itself is revoked/deactivated/expired.
Can the user reactivate immediately?Yes when product policy, entitlement, subscription, and device limits allow it.
Can deactivation happen offline?No reliable offline deactivation is documented. Keep UI honest and require a successful online deactivation.
