There isn't a process to deactivate a license. However, we understand this happens from time to time and allow a few additional activations for each license. If you hit the limit, let us know.

What if I want to use a different license to activate BURP now? I am on Catalina and I am just not able to do that. Every time I try removing BURP pro & reinstalling it, it automatically gets activated with the previous license. I don't want that to happen. I want to activate BURP with a different license now. How can I do that?

Hi, If you select Help -> Clean Burp from computer from the main menu, you should initiate a dialog window that allows you to "Remove Burp license key". This should remove the existing license and allow you to add a new one.
