# Delete license instance

`DELETE /api/v1/licenses/instances/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.scanopy.net`
- URL: `https://app.scanopy.net/api/v1/licenses/instances/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `Authorization`
  - API key in cookie `session_id`

Removes a server instance from this organization's license key.
Frees its slot. A server that is still running is listed again at its next
check-in; rotating the key is what stops one.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Instance deleted

- ApiResponse: Envelope for a successful response. Failures are sent with a non-2xx status and an `ApiErrorResponse` body instead.
  - `data` TupleUnit: No payload. Present only so the envelope keeps its shape.
  - `error` string, nullable: Not sent on a successful response. Failure messages arrive in an `ApiErrorResponse`.
  - `meta` ApiMeta, required: API metadata included in all responses
    - `api_version` integer, required: API version (integer, increments on breaking changes)
    - `server_version` string, required: Server version (semver)
  - `success` boolean, required: Always `true` on a successful response.

## Other responses

- `403`: Not an owner
- `404`: No such instance in this organization
