How can I prevent users from exploiting the deactivation option in the user’s portal?

If a user has a hosted per-instance license and they delete the activation from the portal, will the program continue to be authorized until the sync interval? With longer sync intervals, could this be exploited to allow more instances than intended? If so, how can I prevent this?

Dear Logan,

Thank you for reaching out.

With longer sync intervals, the program will continue to run until the next serverSync occurs, even if the activation is deleted from the portal. This could potentially be misused, as the application will not immediately receive the updated license status.

To mitigate this, we recommend either:

  • Setting a short lease duration and server sync interval
    (or)
  • Setting a longer lease duration combined with a short serverSyncInterval

This ensures the application verifies its license status more frequently and reduces the risk of any unintended or unauthorized use.
