what I noticed is if the Result: Success for vim-cmd vimsvc/license --set= means new license was applied.

you can review which license is activated with this

vim-cmd vimsvc/license --show | grep 'serial' -w

HI, 

My question is "how to remove the old license and let new licene valid? ", not to view valid liense.

Repeat my description:  I set the license and get system give result "successful". The I verify the valid and found the valid license is old one  still, not new set one.

How to force the new license to be valid?
