Self-hosted Sputnik server: removing current Sputnik software

Applies to:

• Sputnik version 2.11.0 or later
• Sputnik Core Client version 2.x or later

OS requirements:

• CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 / Ubuntu 16.04

Note: current Sputnik software will not work on earlier OS versions.

These instructions allow the removal of the Sputnik and Sputnik Core Client software components from a self-hosted Sputnik server that is currently associated with a Core account, as in the following scenarios:

Core account cancellation : if a Core subscription is no longer active, continued operation of the Sputnik software is not permitted, as described in this article.

Core account changes : if a self-hosted Sputnik server needs to be moved from one company's Core account to another Core account, first perform the removal instructions in this article, then associate the self-hosted Sputnik server with the new Core account using the installation steps in this article.
