POST /licenses/{acc}/cancelCreates a list of devices from which licenses will be removed if the number of MRC licenses becomes less than the number of assigned licenses. This can happen when the subscription is changed to a lower number of licenses.
Note: This request is only used with accounts that have a monthly recurring charge (MRC) subscription. Accounts with event-based billing do not need to track licenses.

Nothing is changed for these devices when they are added to the list, or if the number of MRC licenses stays the same or increases. If the number of subscribed licenses is reduced to where it is less than the number of assigned licenses, ThingSpace will remove licenses from as many devices as needed to match the subscribed amount, starting with the first devices in the list. If more licenses need to be removed than the number of devices in this list, ThingSpace will also remove licenses from devices that are not on this list, starting with the first licenses assigned (FIFO).
If an upgrade has started for any devices in the list when the number of subscribed licenses is reduced, the upgrade will complete and the account will be billed for those licenses for another month. If an upgrade is scheduled but has not started, the upgrade will be cancelled.
To remove devices from the cancellation candidate list, send a request that does not include those devices and that does not include type = append. The list of devices in that request will replace the current list.
