Sometimes there , it may be the need necessary to remove a license from a VE License Server.

Please note:

.

There are two several ways to remove an existing license:

• On a running VE license server:
  1. If a new V2C file
  (that is,
  1. with a
  new
  1. license
  )
  1. update is installed on the license server, the old license will be removed. If a completely new license (e.g., different license ID / different license owner) is to be installed, the old license must be manually removed (see below) and a new fingerprint must created.
  2. If you initiate a license transfer (c2v -t <file-name>) on a license server, the installed license will be invalidated. See also Transferring a License to Another Server.
• Deinstalling the license server software. After reinstalling the license server software, the old V2C file can be imported to re-install the license (the fingerprint of the host is not changed by deinstalling and reinstalling the VE license server software). If this is done on an AutoVE server, back up the client registration database (/opt/license-server/instances.db)  before deinstalling the license server software and restore it after reinstalling the license server software.
• Removing the directory /opt/license-server . After such an action, a new license server installation is needed should the license server be required again.
