Use a response file to uninstall a product activation kit. Use a text editor to create the response file: responsefile.xml

<agent-input clean='true' temporary='true'>
<uninstall>
    <offering profile='Licenses' id='the_license_activation_kit_id_to_be_removed'></offering>
</uninstall>
</agent-input>
