You can remove the following licenses from the **System **>** Activation **>** License **pane.  

- Add-on node-locked licenses
- Core node-locked licenses if no active add-on licenses are associated with them

**To remove a license:**

1. Navigate to **System ***> ***Activation**.
2. Click the **License **tab. 
3. From the *Node-Locked License *section, click the **Remove License **icon for the license you want to remove. The *Remove License* icon appears grayed out for those licenses that cannot be removed. To remove a core node-locked license, you need to first remove all add-on licenses associated with it.
