Uninstalling Power-user by script

Modified on Thu, 23 Feb, 2023 at 5:01 PM

Below are the instructions for IT admins who need to uninstall Power-user on users' computers by script. 

The script will uninstall Power-user and clean the registry, but will not deactivate the license.



If Power-user is installed in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Power-user\

  • Launch a command line (e.g. CMD) in the user context
  • Paste this block of code and run it to deactivate the user license, after replacing "XXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX" with your license key on line 2:
SET user_name=%USERNAME%
SET license_key="XXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX"

SET install_path=C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Local

REM Deactivation of the user license providing the license key and user name
"%install_path%\Power-user\PowerUserActivator.exe" "deactivate-license" %user_name% %license_key%
  • Paste this block of code and run it:
IF EXIST "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Power-user\" (
    echo Uninstalling Power-user software
    wmic product where name="Power-user" call uninstall
)





If Power-user is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Power-user\

  • Launch a command line (e.g. CMD) in the admin context

SET user_name=%USERNAME%
SET license_key="XXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX"

SET install_path=C:\Program Files (x86)
