# Blacklisting a Specific Computer

Blacklisting a computer deactivates Parallels Desktop on it and makes re-activation using the same license key impossible. To re-active Parallels Desktop on a blacklisted computer, the user will need to use a different license key. You (the administrator) can remove the computer from the blacklist at any time, in which case the same license key can be used again.

Navigate to **Dashboard** > **Registered computers** (the link can be found on the product card for your Parallels Desktop Business or Enterprise Edition). To blacklist a computer, in the main computer list, select one or more computers (select a checkbox in the first column), then click the **Actions** drop-down menu and choose **Add to Blacklist**.

Blacklisted computers will be marked as such in the **Status** column.

To remove one or more computers from the blacklist, select the computer(s) and click **Actions** > **Remove from Blacklist**. After that, such computers will be listed as `Deactivated` and can be reactivated separately.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-licensing-guide/managing-subscriptions-licences-and-seats/blacklisting-a-specific-computer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
