Deactivate License
Deactivation can be used to move your licenses from one machine to another. You can deactivate your activated NCache license using the Unregister-NCache tool. Please note that deactivation of licenses is not available by default. You’ll need to contact Alachisoft Sales to enable deactivation of your license key. Once it is enabled, you can use your license key to deactivate the activated machines. There are two possible methods to deactivate your NCache license, online and offline.
Online Deactivation for NCache License
You can deactivate the NCache license online when the internet is available on your NCache-installed server. Just follow these steps.
- In PowerShell, execute the following command to deactivate NCache on a local server, where the license key (you got from Alachisoft) is provided with the
Keyparameter.
Unregister-NCache -Key xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
On successful deactivation, you are prompted with a success message.
Offline Deactivation for NCache License
You can deactivate NCache on a server when the internet connection is not available by specifying the ManualDeactivate parameter. Here is how you can deactivate the NCache license in offline mode.
Open PowerShell as an administrator.
Execute the following command to generate the Deactivation Request Code URL by providing the license key against the
Keyparameter and specifying theManualDeactivateparameter.
Unregister-NCache -Key xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx -ManualDeactivate
On execution of this command, you will recieve an Deactivation Request Code URL in the form of a long encrypted text on the screen.
Copy this URL from the screen to another machine that has Internet access. It will open the Deactivation Data Verification page.
Once you have verified that the information is correct, click on Deactivate button at the bottom of the page.
This will open the Deactivation Result page with a success message if your deactivation is successful.
