Deactivating an Offline License

  1. Open Thermo-Calc.

  3. In the License status window, click Sign out and use an offline deactivation file.

  4. A local file to use for the offline deactivation is created and the link to where it is downloaded to your computer is provided. The file is named ls_deactivation.req. Click the link to go to this location on your computer.

    Since you have downloaded the file to a computer that does not have Internet access, then either temporarily access the Internet, or copy the file to one where you can continue the process.

  5. On the computer that has Internet access, go to the URL shown on the License status window: https://offline.licensespring.com.
