How do I delete a license with transactions?

Deleting a license with transactions removes the license record along with its associated financial history—so it should be done with care.

 

What it does

It deletes the license and all related activity, such as charges, payments, and adjustments tied to it.

 

Why you would do it

You’d typically only take this step when the entire record is invalid and shouldn’t exist:

  • The license was created in error
    For example, it was issued to the wrong animal or duplicate record.

  • All related transactions are incorrect
    The billing and payments tied to the license don’t belong and need to be removed.

  • You need a clean restart
    It’s clearer to remove the incorrect license and recreate it properly than to untangle multiple errors.

 

In practice

Because transactions are part of the financial audit trail, deletion is usually a last resort. If the license is valid but something about the billing or payments is wrong, it’s better to correct those elements individually—so the history remains intact and traceable.

 

 

Do this...

1. Back up the Animal License database.

2. Open Connect Animal License > Licenses > Delete Expired Licenses.

3. Verify the routine settings.

4. Click GO (CTRL+G).

The expired license is deleted.
