Deregister License Browser Method

Deregistering licenses using the Browser method

(OPNET 7.0 and later only)

Before using the Browser method, try the Express method. With the Express method, there is no need to exchange codes, and you can deregister many licenses from your computer in one operation.  If the Express method fails, or you prefer to use the Browser method, continue with step 1.

1. Start the OPNET License Manager.  On Windows, use the Start>Programs>OPNET...>License Manager.  On UNIX, use the command op_license_manager.

3. In the License Manager, expand the appropriate license file by clicking on the + sign next to the License file folder icon.  Make sure the license you want to register is available (green).  Select the license you want to register by clicking on it (use control-click or click-drag to select multiple licenses).  Then click on the Deregister License button on the right side of the box.

4. When prompted, click on the Browser button

5. The License Manager launches your Web browser and points it to the licensing area of the OPNET website.  Log in with your OPNET Username and Password.  If your browser fails to launch, start it manually, navigate to http:www.opnet.com/support/, and click on License Registration.

6. Click on Perform License Operations. Select Deregister License and click on the Next button.

7. Back in the License Manager, a dialog box containing a Transaction Code and Hostname field has appeared.

Enter this Transaction Code and Hostname into the browser, then click on the Next button.  You can either paste the text or type it manually.  Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the text you enter.

8. When the Select Starting License page appears, select the lowest license ID that you want to deregister from your computer.  If you want to deregister only one license, select that license.
9. When the Select Ending License page appears, select the highest license ID that you want to deregister from your computer.  If you want to deregister only one license, select that license.
10. When the License Registration Confirmation page appears, check that the information is correct, then click on the Get Approval Code button.  The Approval Code appears.
11. In the License Manager, click on the Next button and enter the Approval code.  This code can be very long, so make sure you copy the entire Approval Code.  After you enter the Approval Code, click on the Next button.

12. In the License Manager, the Confirmation Code appears.  Enter the Confirmation Code in the browser, then click on the Next button.  For your information, the Confirmation Code was saved in the Session Log, which is available from the Help menu in the OPNET software.

13. In the License Manager, click on the Done button.  The license is deregistered, and you can now add it to another computer.
14. If you have any problems with this procedure, contact Technical Support.
