Remove a DKP license

Remove a license

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

In the DKP 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 DKP 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

   CODE

   Expected output:

   Name:         my-license-secret
   Namespace:    kommander
   Labels:       kommanderType=license
   Annotations:  <none>
   
   Type:         Opaque
   
   Data
   ====
   jwt:  455 bytes

   CODE

2. Delete the secret from the kommander namespace:

   kubectl delete secret -n kommander my-license-secret

   CODE

   Expected output:

   secret "my-license-secret" deleted

   CODE

3. We do the same with the License object. Validate that it exists in the kommander namespace:

   kubectl describe license -n kommander my-license

   CODE

   Expected output:

   Name:         my-license
   Namespace:    kommander
   Labels:       <none>
   Annotations:  kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration:

   Expected output:

   CODE

You have now successfully removed a license.
