However, if you then set the Next Numeric Part back to 1 and generated 30 Serial Numbers again for the same license - the Serial Numbers would be exactly the same as the first 30 you generated - this creates a problem for your activation process and should only ever be done in extreme circumstances.

If you do decrement this value - you will be warned as in the following dialog:
