How can I delete an authorization key which has already been created?

How To


Summary

I created an authorization key through the IBM SPSS License Key Center but I used the wrong options.
For example:
- Forgot to include modules, or included the wrong ones.
- Wanted to create one authorization key with multiple installations, but created separate keys for each install.

I would like to delete the authorization key to generate a new one.

Environment

n/a

Steps

There is no possibility within the License Key Center to delete an existing authorization key.
IBM SPSS Support now added the option to automate your "delete authorization key" request, through an SPSS Licensing Support ticket.
Read this article to understand the exact steps.
Note: Once the authorization key has been used by a client installation, it cannot be deleted.
