Modified on Thu, 20 Nov at 3:42 PM

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

The script will deactivate the license, uninstall Power-user and clean the registry.

The below scripts are for CMD, but you can alternatively use PowerShell. Contact us if you need a PowerShell script instead.

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:

REM /!\ This script needs to run in the USER context /!\

IF EXIST "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Power-user\" (
    echo Uninstalling Power-user software
    wmic product where name="Power-user" call uninstall
)

Paste this block of code and run it to uninstall:

REM /!\ This script needs to run in the USER context /!\

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 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:
