License Deactivation
Deactivation can be used to move your licenses from one machine to another. You can deactivate your activated NCache license using the Unregister-NCache PowerShell cmdlet. Please note that the deactivation of licenses is not available by default. You’ll need to contact Alachisoft Sales to enable deactivation of your license key. Once it is enabled, you can use your license key to deactivate the activated machines. There are two possible methods to deactivate your NCache license, online and offline.
Note
To deactivate your NCache license, you need to have the license key (obtained from Alachisoft Sales)
Important
To use the supported NCache PowerShell cmdlets, you'll need to import the NCache PowerShell module.
