Uninstalling Glockfather
Removing the plugin and its samples, and why your licence is kept.
Glockfather's installer places a dedicated uninstaller app on your Mac alongside the plugin itself: The Glockfather Uninstaller. It is also on the DMG you installed from.
- Open The Glockfather Uninstaller.
- It lists exactly what it is about to remove. Confirm when prompted — macOS asks for your administrator password, because the plugin and the samples sit in system locations.
- It removes both the VST3 and AU copies of the plugin, and the shared instrument samples in
/Library/Application Support/Insect Audio/The Glockfather/. - Rescan plugins in your DAW afterward so it clears from the plugin list there too.
If you can't find the uninstaller app, mount the original DMG again and run The Glockfather Uninstaller from there — or contact support (see Getting help).
Your licence is kept
The uninstaller deliberately leaves your licence alone. It lives at:
~/Library/Insect Audio/The Glockfather/license.datThat means reinstalling Glockfather later will not ask for your serial key again.
If you do want a completely clean slate — before selling a Mac, say — delete that folder by hand after uninstalling. You will need your serial key again the next time you install, so keep your order confirmation email.
