License Removal

Users may choose to remove expired or deprecated license files altogether to ensure the uptake of a new license file.

Unix-like OS (AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, etc.)

1. Login to the Unix or Linux operating system.
   
2. Use the find command to locate relevant license files, and check their permissions and ownership.
   
   

   
   bash-2.03$ find / -name virtuoso.lic -exec ls -l {} \;
   -rw-r--r--   1 virtuoso other        645 Mar 11 08:06 /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   bash-2.03$ 
   

   
   
3. Use the rm command to remove the license file(s).
   
   

   
   bash-2.03$ rm /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   

   
   
4. If the file permissions and ownership require, you can use sudo —
   
   

   
   bash-2.03$ sudo rm /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   Password: 
   bash-2.03$ ls /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   bash-2.03$
   

   
   — or su to the appropriate user or group —
   
   

   
   bash-2.03$ su virtuoso
   Password: 
   bash-2.03$ rm /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   bash-2.03$ ls /usr/virtuoso/bin/virtuoso.lic
   bash-2.03$
