Tool to delete registered license keys on a system
The QlmDeleteKeys tool can be used to delete all registered license keys on a customer system.
QlmDeleteKeys requires as input the settings xml file generated by the "Protect your application" wizard. This xml file is typically used as an argument to the QLM License Wizard. If you do not have this xml file, you can generate it as follows:
Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Protect your application tab
On page 2, select your product, your license server and your programming language
On page 3, click Next (no changes required)
On page 4, set QlmStoreKeysLocation to Registry or File depending on which option you selected for your application then click Next
On page 5, select a temporary location to save your customizations and click Save
Several files will be created. The file with an extension lw.xml is required as input for the QlmDeleteKeys application.
