> ⚠️ It may take several minutes for NetMRI to reflect the new status when changing the license status of a device in the network.

  
To force devices to the top of a queue, complete the following:

1. On the **Network Explorer** > **Discovery** page, select devices and then click **Discover** **Next**.
2. Select devices and then click **License**.
3. In the **License** **Status** dialog box, select the desired license status (**Automatic**, **Licensed,** or **Unlicensed**) and then click **OK**.

NetMRI gives explicitly licensed devices priority in determining which devices to manage. Unlicensed devices continue to be managed by the appliance, but only basic discovery data is periodically collected from them.  
  
To force immediate discovery of devices, click the check box for the device(s), and then click **Discover** **Now** (above the table). NetMRI will execute the processes required against a device to complete discovery. These include SNMP credential collection, SNMP data collection, device group assignment, and CLI credential collection.  
  
To delete devices from NetMRI's database, complete the following:

1. On the **Network Explorer** > **Discovery** page, select the devices you want to delete.
2. Click the **Delete** icon.
3. (Optional) In the **Delete** dialog box, select **Delete and exclude** **from** **discovery**.
4. Click **Yes**.

If a device continues to appear in collected data, NetMRI will re-list the device unless you choose to exclude the device from discovery when it is deleted.  
  
To stop managing devices, complete the following:

1. On the **Network Explorer** > **Discovery** page, select the devices you want to stop managing.
2. Click **Unmanage**.
3. Click **Yes**.

Unmanaged devices remain discovered, but NetMRI will not collect data from them. The appliance will not obtain details—such as vendor, model, and operating system version—because SNMP access is required to complete those processes.
