Removing a License from a VE License Server

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

There are several ways to remove an existing license:

  • On a running VE license server:
    1. If a new V2C file with a license 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 point 2) 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).
  • Removing the directory /opt/license-server .
