# Removing an Application Group Member

Follow this procedure to prevent license violations when a member of an AMC application group is removed from the network. These violations occur because the Designated License Manager
The Designated License Manager (DLM) connects with an Application Group on the AMC in order to obtain licenses which may then be shared among the group members. The DLM also tracks license usage and violations for the group, and provides statistics to the AMC. The DLM requires a Group Application Record ID (GARID) with Enterprise License Sharing enabled. (DLM) is unable to find the missing member. To avoid the violations, you need to stop the DLM from looking for the member, either permanently or until the member is returned to the network.

This procedure is especially useful when building systems off-site—for example, in a dealer lab—for later transport to the customer's site. It allows you to provision the Application Group and bring the members online in a staged manner to accommodate issues with the network or the customer's building.
