A function to deactivate a machine already exist in the Orchestrator in the Licences → manage licences → deactivate a machine however the implementation is not 100% useful because:

  1. When a job is run on that machine the function report an exception and does not deactivate the machine
  2. Having the jobs allocated dynamically you need to keep an eye on the processes to see when something that is running is finalised so you can quickly deactivate the machine
  3. The speed the Orchestrator asign new jobs is higher than a human reaction to deactivate a machine so basically this function can’t be used to stop a machine a do servicing

The only change that need to be done is that the deactivation to be activated even if a job is running - the job should continue until it stop and no other new jobs to be allocated to that machine.
