Remove a Kommander license

Remove licenses for Kommander clusters

Remove a license

If your license information has changed, you may need to remove an existing license from Kommander to add a new one. Only Kommander administrators have the ability to remove licenses.

NOTE: Original license information can still be obtained from D2iQ or the AWS License Manager console even after removing from Kommander.

In the Kommander UI, do the following:

  1. Select Global in the workspace header drop-down.

  2. In the sidebar menu, select Administration > Licensing.

  3. Your existing licenses will be listed. Click Remove License on the license you would like to remove, and follow the prompts.

Manually remove a license using kubectl

To remove a license from Kommander using kubectl, you have to delete the Secret and License objects. In this example, the secret is named “my-license-secret”.

  1. Validate that the secret exists in the kommander namespace:

    kubectl describe secret -n kommander my-license-secret
    

    Expected output:

    Name:         my-license-secret
    Namespace:    kommander
    Labels:       kommanderType=license
    Annotations:  <none>
    
    Type:         Opaque
    
    Data
    ====
    jwt:  455 bytes
    
  2. Delete the secret from the kommander namespace:

    kubectl delete secret -n kommander my-license-secret
    

    Expected output:

    secret "my-license-secret" deleted
    
  3. We do the same with the License object. Validate that it exists in the kommander namespace:

    kubectl describe license -n kommander my-license
    

    Expected output:

    Name:         my-license
    Namespace:    kommander
    Labels:       <none>

  4. Delete the license from the kommander namespace:

    kubectl delete license -n kommander my-license
    

    Expected output:

    license.kommander.mesosphere.io "my-license" deleted
    

You have now successfully removed a license.
