License deactivation when admin image used for install

It has been many years since I’ve had to do an uninstall of SOLIDWORKS. I have several workstations that IT will be upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and some of them have SOLIDWORKS installed. The installs were done via admin image using standalone serial numbers and I’ve noticed that there is no option to Deactivate the licenses from within SOLIDOWORKS and the SOLIDWORKS activation wizard just displays a dialog claiming that there are no products to activate and then exits.

How am I supposed to get these licenses deactivated so that they don’t get hung up when the machines are wiped for Windows 11?

could you ask your var to deactivate them all?

this is one of the reasons we basically left yhe node locked licenses to die. to hassle to manage them.
