# Revoking Licenses

Revoking a license will cause **LexActivator** `IsLicenseGenuine()` function to invalidate the local license activation data on the user machine and return `LA_FAIL` status code. Any further attempt to reactivate the license using `ActivateLicense()` will return `LA_E_REVOKED` status code.

Approving the license later will require the user to reactivate the license.

## Revoking a license

To revoke a license you need to hit the [license update endpoint](https://api.cryptlex.com/v3/docs#tag/Licenses/operation/UpdateLicense) and set `revoked` property to `true`.
