How do I remove licenses from agents that have not called in recently?

The software will no longer stop any data extortion attacks after the license is removed.

Group Setting for Automatically Releasing Inactive Agents' Licenses

Users have the ability to edit a Group setting that will automatically release inactive agents' licenses for agents in the Group.

First, navigate to the Groups page found under the Administration tab.

Next, find the “Auto-Release Inactive Agent Licenses Policy“ column for the desired group and double click the cell. This will show options for when an agent should be considered inactive and have their license removed automatically.

How Can I Automatically Hide Agents When Licenses are Removed?

Users have the option to automatically hide agents in the group when: a license is released from an agent, an agent is marked as inactive, or an agent is uninstalled.

This setting can be found on the Groups page under the “Automatically Hide Agents“ column.

Hidden Agents will not be visible on the Agents page by default

Note that the default behavior of agents when their license is released is to not look for a new license automatically the next time they call in. To change this behavior follow the instructions here.
