Allow license administrator to obsolete license seat

Under the new licensing system (licenses.alteryx.com), I don't have the ability to truly release a license seat without user interaction. Currently, I have to revoke the license and then have that user start up alteryx on their machine to complete the process. Until the user starts up alteryx, I cannot reallocate that license. 

 

I would like the ability to obsolete a license where as soon as I click the button in the licensing portal, I can immediately reallocate that license to somebody else. This functionality existed in the previous licensing system and is not available in the new licensing system.

Absolutely agree with the need @patrick_digan - and we're hoping that this is accomplished in the upcoming changes to the licensing process

Status changed to: Implemented

Hello! This idea was implemented with an April update that allowed license administrators to completely clear a key without user interaction. This update applies to all version of Alteryx 11.8 and newer.
