Unassigning host from an entitlement ID
There can be multiple reasons to unassign the entitlement ID from a host, such as the host does not have InfoScale products anymore or is removed from the environment or is obsolete. Sometimes hosts can have entitlements from multiple entitlements IDs. In this case if one or more IDs expire, then the entitlement status of the host is shown as Partially expired. In this case, if required you can unassign all entitlement IDs from the host.
If required, use filter, refresh, and toggle selection menu to locate the appropriate hosts.
There are three methods to unassign entitlements from hosts. Choose whichever method is convenient for you.
