License Deactivation

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition.

NCache Java Client can be deactivated through Command Prompt.

The recommended approach for deactivating your copy of NCache is to do so through Online Deactivation method.

In the UNIX terminal of your server machine, go to the location where you have installed NCache Java Client.
Navigate to the bin/activation folder to access the deactivate-cmd command line tool:

cd /opt/ncache/bin/activation

Run the deactivate-cmd tool as follows. Note that the -k parameter requires Deactivation Code which is provided by Alachisoft Sales.

[root@servername]# ./deactivate-cmd -k XXXXXXXXXXXX

After successful license deactivation, you will be displayed with a message saying, Thank you for deactivating your copy of NCache.

You can customize the license deactivation process through the following properties:

Switch/Properties	Purpose
`-k` (Required) `--deactivationcode`	Specifies the Deactivation Code that you have received from Alachisoft
`-h`/`--help`	Displays a detailed help screen
`-G`/`--nologo`	Suppresses displaying the logo banner

Manual Deactivation means you manually activate your copy of NCache Java Client through the following process:

In the UNIX terminal of your server machine, go to the location where you have installed NCache Java Client.

Navigate to the bin\activation folder to access the activate-cmd tool:

[root@servername]# cd ~/%NCHOME%/bin/activation

[root@servername]# ./deactivate-cmd -k key  -m

The -m parameter specifies manual deactivation

The output of this command is an encrypted text. This encrypted text is called Activation Request Code.
Send this Activation Request Code through email to Alachisoft Support to request an Activation Authorization Code.
Alachisoft Support will deactivate your copy of NCache from Server side on your behalf.
After successful deactivation, you will be displayed with a message saying, Thank you for deactivating your copy of NCache.

You can customize the activation process through the following properties:

Switch/Properties	Purpose
`-k` (Required)	Specifies the Deactivation Code that you have received from Alachisoft
`-h`	Displays a detailed help screen
`-G`	Suppresses displaying the logo banner
