Uninstalling HCL Local License Server

When you no longer require HCL Local License Server (LLS), on your system, you can remove it by running the uninstall utility included in the installation package.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Installation Directory

    Go to the directory where the uninstall utility is located.

    Example:

    C:\hcl-lls-5.3\ (Windows)

    /opt/hcl-lls-5.3/ (Linux)

    OS File Name Location
    Windows uninstall.bat <lls_install_directory>\uninstall.bat
    Linux uninstall.sh /opt/hcl-lls/uninstall.sh
    Note:
    <lls_install_directory> refers to the directory that was specified during the LLS installation process.
  2. Run the Uninstall Program
    • On Windows: Run the uninstall.bat file as an Administrator:
    • On Linux: Enter the following commands with root privileges:
      chmod +x uninstall.sh
      ./uninstall.sh
  3. Confirm the Uninstallation
    • When prompted, type Y to start the uninstallation process.

    • The program will stop all active LLS services and remove installation files.

    Example message:
    Are you sure you want to uninstall HCL Local License Server (Y/N)? Y
    Stopping service...
    Removing files...
    Uninstallation completed successfully.
    

Results

  • The uninstall utility:

    • Terminates the LLS service.

    • Deletes all files in the installed directory.

    • Removes associated system service entries (for both Windows and Linux).

    • Deletes generated log files from <lls_install_directory>/logs.

    You have successfully uninstalled HCL Local License Server 5.3.

What to do next

  • Verify that no LLS services remain active:

    • Windows: Open Windows Services (service.msc) and confirm that HCL Local License Server is no longer listed.

Linux: Run:
systemctl list-units | grep HCL-Local-License-Server
  • If the directory was not completely removed, manually delete any remaining folders (e.g.,
    /opt/hcl-lls-5.3
    or
    C:\HCL_LLS5.3
    ).
  • Ensure all related log and configuration files are deleted for a clean removal.
