Deprecating or removing the deprecation status of a custom license term

You can deprecate a custom license term. Deprecating a custom license term is a global action – it applies to all licenses (custom and KnowledgeBase) that have this custom license term associated to it.

A deprecated custom license term is not available for new associations to licenses and cannot be edited. Existing licenses that have the deprecated term will still display the term to users in existing or new projects/components with no indication to these users that the term is deprecated.

Only users with the License Manager role can deprecate license terms.

To deprecate a custom license term:

Use these procedures to deprecate the term for all licenses that have this term associated to it.
