ClearFrost Engineering DDM Office Add-In - Excel

Deactivate a License (Cloud)

Deactivating the software frees up one of your activation slots, allowing you to activate the software on a different machine if needed. Like activation, it is a quick and straightforward process.

Before You Begin

You will need an active internet connection with access to https://software.clearfrostengineering.co.uk before carrying out the deactivation process.

Deactivating the Software

  1. Click the Deactivate License button on the CFE-DDM Ribbon bar tab.

Things to Note

  • Once deactivated, you will no longer be able to use the software on this machine until it is activated again.
  • Deactivating the software does not remove your license. Your license remains valid and can be used to activate the software on another machine.
  • If you wish to use the software on this machine again in the future, you will need to repeat the activation process. Click here for more information on activation.
