Summary

Deactivate a public license by submitting its license key and an identifier to the Keygate API, effectively invalidating the license for that specific identifier.

Inputs

  • License Key (required) — The public license key string representing the license to be deactivated.
  • Identifier (required) — Device ID, workstation ID, invite token, or user identifier linked to the license activation to deactivate.
  • JSON Input — Additional fields to merge into the request body for extended functionality or metadata.
  • Response Mode — Choose between receiving a simplified response or the raw full API response.

Output shape

a single response object returned by the Keygate API for the deactivate action, representing the outcome of the request

The returned data is either a simplified object containing common license fields or the full raw response depending on the 'Response Mode' setting.

Examples

Example 1: Deactivate a license tied to a specific device

Set the License Key to the target license, the Identifier to the device's unique ID, and call the Deactivate operation under the Public License resource to disable that license activation.
