{% hint style="info" %}
If the key was removed from the user before the activation, then it will immediately go to the status Ready and it can be assigned to another user. 

If the key has already been activated, then it will go into the status Deactivated, and to clear it, you need to tap on the dongle. After that, it will also go to the status Ready.
