Uninstall
The path to the uninstaller must be specified. In addition, if you do not use any of the optional parameters, the uninstallation will be performed with the same basic settings as the interactive uninstallation. This means that the PC is automatically deactivated during the uninstallation, assuming that the PC can reach the license server! The log (see below) provides information about the successful deactivation. If the PC cannot be deactivated, the uninstallation will be aborted. The optional parameters are explained in the table below:
