# Removing bridging license from FNP license server

Here you do not need the license portal, but need to do the action on the FNP license server.   
For removing the bridging license file from the license server under the /opt/flexlm/license directory:

```
cd /opt/flexlm/license<br></br>rm <license file name> 
```

<p class="callout info"><span class="highlightColorYellow">**Note**</span>: if it is a local license server, the licenses might be under directory **`/opt/flexlm/local_license`**.</p>

For re-reading the licenses on the license server execute:

```
Rhel5 /opt/flexlm/bin/lmutil lmreread –c /opt/flexlm/license
Rhel7 sudo –u lmadmin /opt/flexlm/bin/lmutil lmreread –c /opt/flexlm/license
```

**After re-reading** the licenses **Smartest can be restarted** to receive the correct licenses.
