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 PowerShell cmdlet. Please note that the 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.

Note

To deactivate your NCache license, you need to have the license key (obtained from Alachisoft Sales).

Online Deactivation

NCache deactivation can be performed in online mode when an internet connection is available on the server. Just follow the steps below:

  • Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

  • Execute the following command, where the license key (you got upon purchasing NCache from Alachisoft) is provided with the Key parameter.

Unregister-NCache -Key xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
  • On successful deactivation of your license, you will be prompted with a success message.

Offline Deactivation

NCache deactivation can be performed in offline mode when an internet connection is not available on the server by specifying the OfflineDeactivate parameter. Just follow the steps below:

  • Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

  • Execute the following command to generate your Deactivation Request Code URL. Here, the license key (you got upon purchasing NCache from Alachisoft) is provided with the Key parameter, and the OfflineDeactivate parameter specifies the offline mode of deactivation.

Unregister-NCache -Key xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx -OfflineDeactivate

  • You will be prompted with a long encrypted text on your screen. This is the Deactivation Request Code URL. Copy this URL.

  • Paste the URL on a machine that has internet access and open it. It will open the Deactivation Data Verification Page.

  • Verify your information and click on the Deactivate! button at the bottom of the page.

  • This will open the Deactivation Result page with a sucess message if your deactivation was successful.
