LicenseServer..::..CanDeactivate Method

Called by Deactivate(ServerRequestContext, ActivationLimit, DeactivationPhase, String) to determine whether the suggestedProfile can be de-activated. The default implementation always returns true.

Syntax

Protected Overridable Function CanDeactivate ( _
	context As ServerRequestContext, _
	limit As ActivationLimit, _
	phase As DeactivationPhase, _
	ByRef suggestedProfile As ActivationProfile _
) As Boolean
protected virtual bool CanDeactivate(
	ServerRequestContext context,
	ActivationLimit limit,
	DeactivationPhase phase,
	ref ActivationProfile suggestedProfile
)

Parameters

context
Reference to a ServerRequestContext for the current request.
limit
Reference to the context cast to an ActivationLimit
phase
The current phase of the deactivation process.
suggestedProfile
The ActivationProfile to be deactivated. On return contains the actual profile that should be deactivated.

Return Value

Returns true if the suggestedProfile can be deactivated; otherwise false.

Examples

This sample demonstrates a very basic implementation of a license server's Deactivate method. For complete information on license servers see the License Servers in DeployLX Licensing topic.
