Resend license key invite

A user wanting to share a license key can resend an invite to a recipient. This may be useful in the event that the original invite email gets lost in the recipients inbox or accidentally deleted. The license key sender performs this action through their My Account profile.

1. Log into your My Account.
   
2. In the Subscriptions tab, click the down arrow to the right of Manage invitations.
   
   
3. Under Manage invitations, click the curved arrow icon to send the invitation again. The Email column shows the email address of the license key recipient. 

Unshare license key

Before the invitee has claimed a shared license key, the sender has the ability to revoke, or Unshare, the license key. The license key sender performs this action through their My Account profile. If the invitee has already claimed the license key, there is no way to Unshare the key.

1. Log into your My Account.
   
2. In the Subscriptions tab, click the arrow next to Manage invitations.
   
3. Under Manage invitations, click the trash bin icon to Unshare an invitation. Afterwards, the invitee will not be able to claim the shared license key. The Email column shows the email address of the license key recipient.
