Canonical offers livepatching for its kernel, where every home user can get three licenses.

However, I'd like to know how I can de-register a machine from my license. If I get rid of a computer, I'd rather not lose one of my three licenses.

Is there a formalized procedure to deactivate a machine's license and transfer it to a new machine?

Yes, just run

sudo snap run canonical-livepatch disable

Alternatively go to Software and Updates, then Ubuntu Pro, and deactivate the slider labelled Kernel Livepatch.

Another possibility is to do the following:

  • Check out man ua to see what the Ubuntu Advanced services are;
  • ua status to see how your settings are configured;
  • sudo ua disable livepatch and then ua status for control.
