Deny connections and how to get new IDs?

[easywaveio]

Is it possible to block connections from computers that I no longer have access to? These devices keep getting automatically re-added whenever they reconnect. Although I have changed both the public and secret IDs, they still appear- albeit without any details. (I do disable them, but it would be cleaner to get totally rid of them)

Also, is there a way to start completely fresh by deleting all existing clients and then re-adding them so they get new IDs? I want to do this so I can enforce "allow-hostname-as-id=Y" on all devices consistently. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client, cleaned the database for clients, but the old IDs persist. Only new computers seem to follow the allow-hostname-as-id=Y setting correctly.

Disabled devices do not take your license seat.

I totally understand you, you are not the first one who have the this concern, actually we are the first one.

But technically, it is hard (how can we know it should be added or not added, deleted devices are really deleted, they have nothing in our database any more), except we add some blacklist mechnism etc, but it will also introduce more Inconvenience to users. Or we introduce assignment token, only when you input the token explicitly on the client side, we will add the device to the list. Again, this also introduce Inconvenience to you.

Yes, the doc also states this.

Thank you for the quick response! Is there a way to start completely fresh? For example, if I delete all existing clients and then reinstall the client software on all machines, would that reset everything? I'd like to have all clients use hostname-as-id consistently, instead of the mixed setup I have at the moment.
