# Manage player licenses

You must assign a license to your player, so it can't receive content from the server.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You can only assign licenses that are available to you in IXM One. Only admins can [upload licenses](/grassfish/docs/manage-licenses).

## Assign licenses

To assign a license to a player, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Channels > Location**.
2. Select the location of your player.
3. In the **Managing players** pane, double-click on the player or select it and click on **Edit**.
4. In the **Edit player** window, select a license from the **License type** dropdown.
5. Click on **Save** to save your changes.

The player can receive content from the server as soon as the license has been installed and the player has gone online.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> To check the player status, go to **Channels > Location > Managing players**.

## Remove licenses

You can remove a license from a player, if you don't need it anymore. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Channels > Location**.
2. Select the location of the player that you want to edit.
3. In the **Managing players** pane, double-click on the player or select it and click on **Edit**.
4. Click on **Reset player**.

The player's license is removed and the connection to the server disconnected.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If your player has already been activated, you must reset it to remove the license.

2. Select the location of the player that you want to edit.
3. In the **Managing players** pane, double-click on the player or select it and click on **Edit**.
4. Select a different license from the **License type** dropdown.
