The transition of a product to a new licence state depends on the current license state of the product and the license state of the product prior to the current license state. Accordingly, you can choose to evaluate, activate, or deactivate a product.
For example:
A product that is currently deactivated can be moved to an evaluation, extended evaluation, or active state.
A product that has been transitioned from an evaluation state to deactivated state can be now moved to an active, evaluation, or extended evaluation state.
NOTE:If you change the license state on a ZENworks Server, it might take up to 30 minutes for the license state change to be reflected on the managed device. To enable the license state change to be immediately reflected on the managed device, restart the zenserver services on the ZENworks Server.
