Overview

 

A server either has an "Enabled" or a "Disabled" status. When a server is disabled, its license is freed the next time the paired MCL-Net v4 tries to renew its license.

 

 

If you apply a "disabled" status to a server, the communication flow between server and the devices, that are associated to that server, will be interrupted. Operationally speaking, even though a server is "disabled", it will still communicate with the account to check for status changes. It simply will not perform any tasks.
