    If you accidentally installed a license/subscription on a firewall and need to reassign the license to another firewall, you can deactivate an individual license and re-use the same authorization code on another firewall without help from Technical Support. This capability is supported on the CLI only; this process is supported both on the hardware-based firewalls and on the VM-Series firewall.
    Deactivate a Feature License or Subscription Using the CLI
    Log into the CLI on the firewall.
    If your firewall has direct internet access, use the following commands: View the name of the license key file for the feature you want to deactivate. request license deactivate key features ?
    Deactivate the license or subscription. request license deactivate key features <name> mode auto where, name is the full name for the license key file. For example: admin@vmPAN2> request license deactivate key features WildFire_License_2015_01_28_I5820573.key mode auto 007200002599 WildFire License Success Successfully removed license keys
    If your firewall does not have direct internet access, use the following commands: View the name of the license key file for the feature you want to deactivate. request license deactivate key features
    Deactivate the license manually. request license deactivate key features <name> mode manual For example: admin@PA-VM> request license deactivate key features PAN_DB_URL_Filtering_2015_01_28_I6134084.key mode manual Successfully removed license keys dact_lic.01282015.100502.tok The token file uses the format dact_lic.timestamp.tok, where the timestamp is in the dmmyyyy.hrminsec format.
    Verify that the token file was generated. show license-token-files
    Export the token file to an SCP or TFTP server and save it to your computer. scp export license-token-file to < username@serverIP > from <token_filename> For example: scp export license-token-file to admin@10.1.10.55:/tmp/ from dact_lic.01282015.100502.tok
    Log into the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support web site.
    Click the Deactivate License(s) link on the Assets tab.
    While logged in to the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support web site, upload the token file to complete the deactivation.
