How to add or remove a license key using the command line

To manage license keys on a device, you can use license key management commands.

To add an active license key to the application, run the following command:

kfl-control [-L] --add-active-key <activation code>

where <activation code> is the activation code.

If the application is already activated and you add a new license key (use a new activation code), the new key replaces the previously added key. If the license associated with a previously added key has not yet expired, you can add that key to the application on another device.

To add a reserve license key to the application, run the following command:

kfl-control [-L] --add-reserve-key <activation code>

You can only use a reserve license key if the auto-renewal feature is disabled for your subscription.

If an active key has not yet been added to the application on the device, the command fails.

To remove the active key from the application, run the following command:

kfl-control [-L] --remove-active-key

If you remove the active license key, the application is not activated. You can use the application only after activation.

To remove a reserve key from the application, run the following command:

kfl-control [-L] --remove-reserve-key
