[GIS] Why does the ArcGIS License Manager have a Repair option

This minor problem with my ArcGIS 10.4 license manager was bugging me – why was there a Repair option, and why didn't Repair actually work?

The answer came from Esri tech support, and I'm including it here in case it helps someone else:

Clearing trusted storage for ArcGIS Licenses:

1: Show Hidden Folders

2: Backup the files from C:/ProgramData/FLEXnet and delete this folder

3: Verify that the licenses are removed (Open the ArcGIS Administrator, click the Availability folder, it should be cleared out)

4: Reauthorise licenses
