  • If you re-install the license server again after the deinstallation, the license (V2C file) must be imported again using the v2c utility.

To uninstall the license server package, perform the following steps:

  1. Use ssh to log in on the license server instance.
    # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
    1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      (not needed for an on-premises VMware installation that allows login with username/password).
    2. <user> is the user for interactive login associated with your license server instance (e.g., opc on OCI, centos for a CentOS instance on AWS, or the custom user of your VMware host;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged, supported Charon -SSP VE marketplace image, use sshuser for Charon-SSP and centos for Charon-PAR)
    3. <linux-ip> the ip address of your cloud instance

  2. As a privileged user (root) perform the deinstallation command:
    1. Become the root user:          # sudo -i
    2. Remove the VE license server package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum erase license-server
      2. Linux 8.x: # dnf erase license-server
