Unable to remove a VDP server from license usage

Hi, I am facing an issue where I am not able to remove Virtual Data Port server from the license usage screen. It is throwing the following error **com.denodo.solutionmanager.rest.controller.util.BaseErrorController [] - Validation error: It is not possible to delete the VDP server because it has an active license usage.** The server(and IP address) associated with the server has been removed. But there seems to be no screen to remove a license associated with a server. Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue?? Regards V

Hello, In the License Usage table, each row represents the license usage of Virtual Data Port(VDP), Scheduler or Data Catalog server. A new row is added each time one of these servers starts. When you stop any of these servers, they notify the license manager via HTTP request and get free from the license usage. You can manually free the server from license usage to remove VDP server from the license usage screen. To do so I would send the HTTP request from the command line. For example, to free the license associated with the VDP server that runs on a host with IP “127.0.0.1”. I will run the command - `curl --user "jsmith" "https://solution-manager.acme.com:10091/externalShutdown?nodeIp=127.0.0.1&port=9999&product=VDP` You can refer to the document [Free License Usage](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/solution_manager/administration/appendix/rest_api/rest_api#sm-api-free-license-usage), to understand how to get the required information to run the CURL command and free the denodo server from the license usage. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to manage this via the UI?

Hello, Currently, the only method to remove Denodo servers from license usage is via REST API. You can also request the API call through a browser. I was able to free an active license by navigating to the below URL in my Chrome browser : ``` http://<SOLUTION_MANAGER_HOST>:<SOLUTION_MANAGER_PORT>/externalShutdown?nodeIp=&hostDomainName=<VDP_SERVER_HOST>&product=VDP&port=<VDP_SERVER_PORT> ``` Hope this helps!
