VE License Server Software Deinstallation

Please note:

• If you are not familiar with the deinstallation of RPM packages, please refer to the regular user's guide or your Linux system documentation.
• Before you deinstall a VE license server, make sure that no active emulator guest system depends on this license server.
• Shut down any running emulator guest systems depending on this license server.
• Please refer to the general Charon user's guide for information on how to remove the Charon emulator software.
• 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 marketplace image, use sshuser)
   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 and higher: # dnf erase license-server
