# Stop License Server

You can stop License Server from running in several different ways.

- (All Platforms) Send the `Stop` service action to the component service port:

      http://host:servicePort/action=stop

  where `host` is the name or IP address of the host on which the License Server is running, and `servicePort` is the component service port (which is specified in the `[Service]`section of the License Server configuration file).

- On Windows platforms, when the component is installed as a service, you can use the system dialog box to stop the service:

  1. Display the Windows Services dialog box.

  2. Select the LicenseServer service, and click Stop to stop License Server.

  3. Click Close to close the Services dialog box.

- On UNIX platforms, when the component is installed as a service, you can run one of the following commands to stop the service:

  - On systemd platforms:

        systemctl stop licenseserver

  - On system V platforms:

        service licenseserver stop

- On UNIX platforms, you can also use the stop script, `stop-licenseserver.sh`.
