# /systems/unregister - Give up the system credentials

**POST /systems/unregister**

The appliance announces that it is giving up its credentials, and
collect stops accepting them: heartbeat, inventory, backups, the alert
proxy and the enterprise feed authorization all answer 401 from that
moment on. Whoever kept a copy of the pair loses it along with the
machine that gave it up.

The state is terminal. A system key is one-shot, so this system cannot
be registered again and stays counted against the licences until it is
deleted on my; a machine that needs a subscription again is given a new
system with a new secret.

Only the first call answers 200. Its own revocation makes every later
request from the same credentials, this one included, fail
authentication.
