Honeywell K14392V1 Removing Multi-Media Software, Ineffective strategies for an unwanted user

System Administrator’s Guide

Ineffective strategies for an unwanted user

Honeywell does not recommend the following strategies. They are misguided! They are explained so that they are not mistakenly used or produce a false sense of security. For a correct strategy, see the procedure:: To Deny Access to a User of Your Multi System, above.

•Changing the user’s password. For this to work, the unwanted user would have to first refresh the Local database or quit using View, both optional acts. This is an ineffective strategy.

•Deleting a user’s account (before denying access).

This involves more steps than in the procedure at the beginning of this section. After deleting the account, you would still have to change the system password. As a result (see System Password, on p. 166), you then need to update security at the sites that this user must not access, and communicate with your entire user base, so that each refresh their local database. This is not good strategy.

Removing Multi-Media Software

To remove Multi software, a Microsoft Windows procedure is used.

1.On the Windows desktop, click Start.

2.Click Control Panel.

3.Double-clickAdd/Remove Programs.

4.On the Install/Uninstall tab, use the scroll bar to help locate the Multi program. Select either:

•Rapid Eye Multi Admin and View [version number].

- or -

•Rapid Eye Multi View (version number may vary).

5.Click Add/Remove. An InstallShield utility removes Multi software from the PC.

Using Windows Explorer to delete Multi files

It is not recommended that you use Windows Explorer to delete Multi executable files. Multi software uses registry keys that may also need to be removed. Please use the above procedure to do so.
