Listing and Manually Deactivating Seats

A command line tool shipped with Profound.js / Profound API allows you to list active seats for a given license, and to manually deactivate seats. This is useful if automatic deactivation fails.

The command line tool is named lic_client.js and is installed in the product installation directory. It must be run using Node.js. Any copy of lic_client.js can be used to work with any floating license. The tool authenticates to the licensing server using the same floating license authorization code as the product.
