# Licenses

> Manage your Incredibuild licenses from the Console - deactivate online licenses and reset offline licenses without a support ticket.

## Find your licenses

In the [Incredibuild Console](https://app.incredibuild.com/), go to **Settings → Licenses**.

## Online license

Release an online license from its current machine so you can activate it elsewhere.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the license">
    In **Settings → Licenses**, find the online license you want to move.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deactivate">
    Click **Deactivate** on that row, then confirm in the dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reactivate elsewhere">
    On the new machine, reactivate the license from your local Incredibuild installation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deactivating blocks every machine from using the license until it's reactivated. If a coordinator
  is running on the connected grid, it stops immediately - only deactivate when you're ready to switch
  machines.
</Warning>

## Offline license

Reset an offline license to reactivate the coordinator with a new offline license.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the request file">
    On the coordinator machine, open the command line as an administrator and run:

    ```bat theme={null}
    LicenseServiceConsole ActivateOffline <LICENSE-KEY>
    ```

    This creates the `ib_activation.req` file on your machine.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the .req file">
    In the Incredibuild Console, go to **Settings → Licenses**, click **Reset Offline**, then upload
    the generated `.req` file in the dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the .lic file">
    Click **Generate .lic file**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load the offline license">
    Open the command line as an administrator and run:

    ```bat theme={null}
    LicenseServiceConsole LoadOfflineLicense <absolute path to ib_license.lic>
    ```

    Your coordinator is now activated with an offline license.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>Offline resets are limited within a rolling 3-month window (the dialog shows how many you have left).</Note>
