Remove a DKP 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.

Original license information can still be obtained from D2iQ or the AWS License Manager console even after removing from DKP.

Remove a License via the UI

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:

   CODE

   kubectl describe secret -n kommander my-license-secret

   Expected output:

   CODE

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

2. Delete the secret from the kommander namespace:

   CODE

   kubectl delete secret -n kommander my-license-secret

   Expected output:

   CODE

   secret "my-license-secret" deleted

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

   CODE

   kubectl describe license -n kommander my-license

   Expected output:

   CODE

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

4. Delete the license from the kommander namespace:

   CODE

   kubectl delete license -n kommander my-license

   Expected output:

   CODE

   license.kommander.mesosphere.io "my-license" deleted

You have now successfully removed a license.
