You can kill a consumption-based license using a RESTful API command. The LoadMaster must be able to communicate with the Progress Kemp Licensing Server for this to be successful.

Note: Progress Kemp can remotely kill a licensed consumption-based LoadMaster for various reasons. The consumption-based LoadMaster stops functioning within 24 hours of the kill being initiated by Progress Kemp.

To kill a consumption-based license, run the following command:

curl -k "https://<LoadMasterIPAddress>/access/kill_spla_instance?name=<ProgressID>&passwd=<ProgressIDPassword>&kill=1"
Note: Killing, relicensing, and killing again is not recommended - this leads to unexpected behavior.
