**To cancel the scheduled deletion of a customer managed KMS key**
The following ``cancel-key-deletion`` example cancels the scheduled deletion of a customer managed KMS key. ::
aws kms cancel-key-deletion \
--key-id 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
Output::
{
"KeyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"
}
When the ``cancel-key-deletion`` command succeeds, the scheduled deletion is canceled. However, the key state of the KMS key is ``Disabled``, so you can't use the KMS key in cryptographic operations. To restore its functionality, use the ``enable-key`` command .
