On certain occasions you need to uninstall GeneXus licenses. For example:

  • To authorize the license for a new GeneXus version on a PC where there is an older GeneXus license(s).
  • To stop using certain GeneXus components, such as a GeneXus Generator, but continue using other components. This enables you to pay only for the software assurance service of the products that you are actually using.
  • To reinstall Windows or the Windows Registry.
