Deactivate a self-managed license

When you deactivate a self-managed license, existing resources using the license are unaffected and AMIs using the license can still be launched. However, license consumption is no longer tracked.

When a self-managed license is deactivated, it must not be attached to any running instance. After deactivation, launches cannot be performed with the self-managed license.
