Deactivate Your license first!

If you are planning to remove AQT completely from your machine, you should deactivate your license prior to uninstalling it.This will free up your license for use elsewhere. If you do not do this, AQT will deemed to be still in use on this machine - this may prevent you doing further activations of your license.

The procedure for deactivating a license is given at Deactivating your AQT License.

If you are planning to reinstall AQT on your machine you do not need to do this step.

Uninstall / Reinstall will not remove AQT settings and files

The Uninstall process will only remove the files which were loaded by the install.

This means you can uninstall and reinstall AQT without loosing your license key, options, saved-queries etc.

Note: if you are having technical problems with AQT, it will generally not be fixed by an uninstall/reinstall!

Clean up Registry entries and other files
