Uninstalling Licenses

You can only uninstall a permanent license that is not in use. If you try to delete a permanent license that is
currently being used, the software rejects the request with an error message. Uninstalling an unused license
initiates the grace period. The grace period is measured from the first use of the feature without a license and
is reset when a valid license file is installed.
Permanent licenses cannot be uninstalled if they are currently being used. Features turned on by permanent
Note
licenses must first be disabled, before that license is uninstalled.
If you are using an evaluation license and would like to install a new permanent license, you can do so without
service disruption and before the evaluation license expires. Removing an evaluation license immediately
triggers a grace period without service disruption.
Disable related features before uninstalling a license. The delete procedure fails if the license is in use.
