# Uninstall a local license server (Windows)

To uninstall the local license server from your Windows environment, complete the following steps:

1. Shut down the *flexnetls-pentaho* service using the following command:

   ```
   flexnetls.bat -stop
   ```
2. Uninstall the license server service using the following command:

   ```
   flexnetls.bat -uninstall
   ```
3. To properly clean up your environment, run the following command:

   ```
   sc delete FNLS-pentaho
   ```
4. Delete the files in the license server’s installation directory.
5. (Optional) If you are planning to do a clean re-install, remove the following files as well:

   | Files                 | Default file location                                                                        |
   | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Trusted storage files | `C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\flexnetls\pentaho` (`.ks`, `.db`, and `.0` files) |
   | Log files             | `C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\flexnetls\pentaho\logs`                           |

   **Note:**

   Trusted storage and log file locations are defined by the license server policies `server.trustedStorageDir` and `logging.directory`, respectively, the defaults for which are based on `${bases.dir}`. Depending on the values set for these policies on your server, your trusted storage and log files might be in different locations than those mentioned in this step.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/10.2-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/acquire-and-install-enterprise-licenses/install-and-manage-a-local-license-server/uninstall-a-local-license-server-windows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
