# Suspending Licenses

Suspending a license will cause **LexActivator** `IsLicenseGenuine()` function to return `LA_SUSPENDED` status code on the user machine, based on which you can take any action in your application.

Allowing the license later will automatically cause **LexActivator** `IsLicenseGenuine()` function to return `LA_OK` status code. User doesn't need to reactivate the license.

## Suspending a license

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