Deleting a License from a Management Center
Use the following procedure if you need to delete a license for any reason. Keep in mind that, because Cisco
generates licenses based on each Management Center's unique license key, you cannot delete a license from one
Management Center and reuse it on a different Management Center. For more information, see See Licensing the
Firepower System in the Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide.
To delete a license:
1. Select
Systems > Licenses
2. Next to the license you want to delete, click the delete icon (
Deleting a license removes the licensed capability from all devices using that license. For example, if your
Protection license is valid and enabled for 100 managed devices, deleting the license removes protection
capabilities from all 100 devices.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the license.
The license is deleted.
