LoadMaster licenses can be deregistered and removed permanently if needed.

Note: Kemp recommends taking a backup of the LoadMaster configuration before deregistering it. Manual backups can be taken by going to System Configuration > System Administration > Backup/Restore in the main menu of the LoadMaster web UI, or by going to cloud icon > System Configuration > Backup/Restore in the Kemp 360 Central interface.

When a LoadMaster is deregistered, it frees up another instance to be registered. For example, if you have reached the LoadMaster limit (local license limit) and you deregister one LoadMaster, you can now activate another LoadMaster.

There are two ways to deregister the LoadMaster - using Kemp 360 Central or using the LoadMaster. Refer to the relevant section below for step-by-step instructions.

Note: Kemp strongly recommends deregistering a LoadMaster using the Kemp 360 Central UI, rather than the LoadMaster UI. Deregistering a LoadMaster from the LoadMaster UI can lead to the LoadMaster having an unknown state in Kemp 360 Central. In these cases, it is not easy to remove the LoadMaster from Kemp 360 Central and the unknown LoadMaster is still taking up an available license.
