Tip
Note that CodeTwo Exchange Rules licenses are assigned to every email address that benefits from the program. Consequently, if a user uses two email addresses, such a user will consume two licenses.
Removing an individual email address from the list of licensed addresses requires clearing the entire list. To do it, follow the instructions for your version of the program:
- CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro 2.x | 2019 1.x | 2016 1.x | 2013 2.x | 2010 3.x.| 2007 4x
- CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro 1.x | 2013 1.x | 2010 1.x and 2.x | 2007 3.x

Resetting licenses in the older versions of CodeTwo Exchange Rules
If you want to make sure that a given email address is licensed, open the file named either Licensing.log or LicensingInfo.log. The file is located in the following path (Windows Server 2008 and newer):
%Windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\CodeTwo\<name of the software>\
If you cannot find the above path, check the location of your NetworkService user profile in Windows Registry. To do so, run regedit.exe and check the value of ProfileImagePath key in the following path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-20\
- To clear the list of licensed addresses, restart the Exchange server machine on which the CodeTwo Exchange Rules is installed. Do not attempt to edit or remove the Licensing.log or LicensingInfo.log files – this will not be effective.
