However, if floating licensing is used (i.e. Floating=true), then an error will not be thrown even if the machine code does not exist.
Errors

| Access denied. |
| The input parameters were incorrect. |
| Could not find the product. |
| Could not find the key. |
| The key is blocked and cannot be accessed. |
| Either the machine code was never activated or key activation feature was never set up. |
FAQ
Can one token activate and deactivate a license?
Yes. Select both Activate and Deactivate when creating or editing your personal access token. Activate permission alone does not grant Deactivate. The pre-generated QuickStart token permits Activate and GetKey, but not Deactivate. Both calls must still satisfy their parameters and the token's applicable restrictions. See the access-token guide for the controls and recommended configurations.
