CloudNine LAW: How can I activate an expired LAW license?

How to Manually Deactivate an Expired License

CloudNine recommends renewing LAW licenses before they expire to maintain productivity. If a license expires, a manual deactivation process may be necessary to release it and re-activate it with a new expiration date. This process requires collaboration between CloudNine and you, the client.
