    Prevent unauthorized SELECTserver Activation Key based Usage

    To stop usage from an authorized user/machine for SELECTserver based applications:

    1. Create a new Entitlement Group
    2. Create a new custom SELECTserver activation key
    3. Distribute new activation key to authorized users/machines
      1. Suggested distribution method: Configure Product Activation using Group Policy or the Licensetoolcmd
    4. Disable the old/original Activation Key (The key you wish to stop generating usage)

    Note this does not limit to specific applications nor impact SES based versions.

    How can I configure an activation key to restrict entitlements to a certain set of products?
