Instant Revoke

Instant Revoke



 

Instant Revoke allows you to respond quickly in situations where licenses need to be revoked immediately.
You can specify the number of licenses to revoke and define the target user group using conditions such as all users, domain-based users, groups, or external users—offering flexible and targeted control.

By using Instant Revoke, you can instantly remove licenses assigned to unused accounts, helping you optimize license costs and reduce security or operational risks caused by inactive users.
