Linux NLM + NLRS Uninstallation Guide

Before you can upgrade to NLRM, you must uninstall any previously installed Autodesk network licensing solutions. If your servers currently have NLRS (Network License Reporting Service) and NLM (Network License Manager), uninstall them following these instructions.

Note: Be sure to read the Linux Preinstallation Guide before proceeding with this process. For license servers with NLM/NLRM currently installed, follow instructions in the Linux NLM/NLRM Uninstallation Guide.

The steps to uninstall NLRS and NLM are:

• Transmit remaining usage data
• Uninstall NLM and NLRS

These steps are described in the following sections.

1. Stop NLRS using below command:

    kill $(ps aux | grep 'CARService.exe' | awk '{print$2}')

2. Start NLRS using below command:

    /opt/mono-5.4.1/mono-service /opt/Autodesk/NLRS/CARService.exe

3. Verify presence of below lines in carservice.log:
