License still showing on gateway after deleting from management guidbedit

[Mangesh]

Dear Team,

I want to delete the gateway license which are showing.i have deleted from management server guidbedit, but still showing in cplic print output.

[Chris_Atkinson]

Why was guidbedit needed here?

'cplic print -x' should reveal the signature string needed to remove it with 'cplic del'.

[Mangesh]

I tried to delete from cli using string but these are the central license which cannot be deleted from cli.

I used dbedit because when i tried to delete it from smartupdate getting error object is jot found.

Did you also try to see if it is shown in SmartConsole?

Gateways & Servers > Select Security Gateway > License tab at bottom

You cannot remove a license from a GW by running guidbedit on the management. This is not how it works. Use licensing tools, please

I used smartupdate but that license is not showing on gateway but showing in cplic print output 

[Chris_Atkinson]

Which type of license is this Cloudguard / Vsec or other and what error did you see on the CLI?

[Mangesh]

This is cluster setup and central license...can u please tell where is this file license file config file located on gateway?

$CPDIR/conf/cp.license
However, modifying this file directly is not recommended/supported, to the best of my knowledge.

If its pnp license, you have to delete it from $CPDIR/conf

cd $CPDIR/conf

rm cp.pnp

Its just trial license (plug and play), so you will probably see warnings about it when running bunch of commands from expert mode, but thats expected.

Best,

Andy
