How to Revert to AnyDesk Free Version After License Expiration: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you find yourself wanting to revert to the free version of AnyDesk after your license has expired, we have a helpful guide to streamline this process for you.

First, it’s crucial to understand that AnyDesk requires the expired license to be reactivated before you can remove it. To do this, log in to your AnyDesk account, navigate to the Licenses tab, and select the option to reactivate your license. This will enable you to restore access to your previous features. However, if you only require basic functionalities, you might want to consider uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

Should you choose this latter option, make sure to close AnyDesk before proceeding. Navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\AnyDesk and delete the files “service.conf” and “system.conf.” Afterward, you can uninstall the application through the control panel or by locating the uninstall.exe file in the installation folder.

Once complete, reinstall AnyDesk from its official website, and you should be able to access the free tier. Keep in mind that to activate the Wake-on-LAN feature, you must ensure it is enabled in the remote client’s settings and that the operating system settings are appropriately configured.

We hope this information proves useful as you transition back to the free version of AnyDesk. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask in support forums or consult our official help page.
