Making a Device Obsolete

You can make an active device obsolete from its default view for a device or server page. When a device is made obsolete, its licenses are unmapped and returned to the pool, and it becomes unable to acquire new licenses.

Important: Obsolete status is permanent. Obsolete devices cannot be re-activated.

Tip:Limitations exist for auto-provisioned servers. Auto-provisioned servers cannot be moved, made obsolete, have a new account assigned, or have their licenses removed.

To make a device obsolete

1. Click Edit > Make Obsolete. The Producer Portal warns that this process is irreversible and asks you to confirm before changing the current device’s status to OBSOLETE.
2. Click OK.

The Producer Portal changes the status of the device to OBSOLETE and shows its default view for a device or server page.
