Defining Product Cancellation

This section is relevant only for LDK Products/Entitlements.

A Cancellation Product cancels the license terms of another Product. For example, a Cancellation Product can be used:

• To revoke a deployed license
• To 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 overwrites 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. Type a name for the Cancellation Product in the Name field (maximum length 50 characters). The name must be unique in the selected batch.
2. Enter Ref ID 1 and Ref ID 2 if required (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.
3. (Optional) To add a description to the Product, click the Add Description link. The Description field appears. In this field, you can enter text to provide additional information about the Product (maximum length 510 characters).
4. The Features from the Base Product are displayed in the Product Features pane. You can perform the following actions in this pane:

   For individual features, you can use the links provided in the same row. To perform an action for multiple features at one time, select the check boxes for the features and use the buttons provided at the top-right of the pane.

3. Add Features—To add additional Features to the Product.
4. Remove—To remove newly added Features.

   If you remove a pre-existing feature, it will still remain as it is in the product.

5. Modify—To change the license terms for existing Features. In the pop-up that appears modify the license terms as needed. For example, you can increase/decrease execution counts and concurrent instances. This option is not available for newly added Features. See Defining License Terms for an LDK Product for details.

   If for an existing feature, the license type is Specify at entitlement time, then use Overwrite instead of Modify to change the license terms.

   

6. Overwrite—To define fresh license terms for existing or new Features. In the pop-up that appears define the license terms. See Defining License Terms for an LDK Product for details.

   

7. Cancel—To remove these Features from the Product.
8. Leave—Leave the Feature as it is in the Product.
5. When you have finished defining the Cancellation Product details, click:
1. Save as Draft—To save the Cancellation Product as Draft so that you can update its details later.
2. Save as Complete—This finalizes the Cancellation Product.
7. The new Cancellation Product is displayed in the Products page.
