2. Run the following command (here, the installation package is assumed to be
AcronisAgentWindows.msi, saved in the \\myserver\share network share):
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /qb
Uninstalling an agent
When you uninstall an agent, we recommend first uninstalling its features, then the agent itself and
then the Acronis Backup Agent Core component.
For example, to uninstall Agent for SQL, run uninstallation commands in the following order:
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentMsSqlSinglePass.msi /qb
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /qb
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentCore.msi /qb
Uninstalling the license server
If you need to uninstall the Acronis License Server, you should do so after uninstalling all agents that
use it. Also keep in mind that the license server may be used by other Acronis products.
The license server is integrated with the management server. To uninstall the management server,
run the following command (change the path if needed):
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisManagementServer.msi /qb
To uninstall the license server installed as a separate component, run the following command
(change the path if needed):
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisLicenseServer.msi /qb

Remote uninstallation
The remote uninstallation is performed by using the remote_uninstaller.exe utility. It allows
you to uninstall all Acronis Backup components from the specified machines running Windows. The
logs, tasks, vaults, and configuration settings on the machines remain intact.
The utility is available on any Windows machine where Acronis Backup Management Console or
Acronis Backup Management Server is installed. The path to the utility is as follows:
