Dynamically Deactivate License

We moved a whole bunch of our machines' licenses to a VLM.  Now we need to go deactivate all the local licenses.

 

Looking through the command arguments for nilmutil.exe it doesn't look like this is an option.  Does anyone know of a way I could create a batch file to dynamically deactivate licenses?

 

I tried just changing the pernanent word in the license file to be 1-jan-1900 but it looks like the SIGN variable needs to be changed as well.  Not sure how to do that.

 

I'm also open to replacing the file with a default one but not sure if the same default file will work for multiple machines. Or if that is generated from the installer based on the computer name.

 

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks a bunch,
