Overview
There is no option in Serv-U Management Console to deactivate its license.
When doing migration of Serv-U to a new server, you have to include the file "Serv-UID.txt" to be migrated to the new server.
The Serv-UID.txt file contains your license key information. This file is created at the time when you enter your license ID in the Serv-U Management Console.
