Last updated 2 months ago

The method for deactivating Zee Drive on a computer depends upon how the computer was activated.

Deactivate A Personal Computer

If your computer is activated as a personal computer, open Zee Drive from the system tray by clicking the blue Z icon:

Then choose the deactivate option from the action button:

After successful deactivation, Zee Drive will shutdown and no longer start up when you next sign in to the computer

Deactivate A Hot Desk Computer Or Desktop Server

To manually deactivate, run zeedrive.exe on the computer and enter the Zee Drive subscription administrator username + activation code (or Zee Drive partner subscription administrator username + activation code if the subscription is on your partner subscription) then click the blue "hot desk computer and desktop server" link that shows and follow the wizard to deactivate.

Zee Drive will not shut down during deactivation but it will no longer start up when a user next signs in to the computer

Remove All Activations

If you are not sure how Zee Drive is activated and want to remove all instances of Zee Drive starting up:

Alternatively deactivation can be performed via command line. This will deactivate the computer so Zee Drive will no longer start up but, it will still cause the computer to consume a shared computer licence on the subscription. The computer will also need to be deactivated from the administration console. See the for more information on deactivating.

Download and run . In the Quick Filter edit box enter zeedrive.exe. Select the Everything tab. Locate entries under the registry and Scheduled Task nodes. You may see multiple entries under the Registry node. Remove the entries. Sign out of Windows and sign back in again.
