Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does revocation take effect?

Revocation is immediate in the database. Applications see the change on their next license check—typically within seconds to minutes.

Can revoked licenses be restored?

Yes. All revocations are reversible. You can restore a license with full history preserved in the audit log.

What about offline licenses?

Offline tokens will fail validation at their next renewal attempt. For immediate effect, consider shorter offline validity periods.

Will users be notified?

Notification is optional and configurable. You can send automated emails explaining the revocation with next steps.
