Uninstalling the Authorization

If, for example, you want to reformat the hard disk containing the authorization, you
must first transfer the authorizations back to the authorization diskette (uninstall).
For this, you require the original yellow authorization diskette of the STEP 7
standard software. You can also transfer the authorizations of your optional
packages back to this authorization diskette.
To transfer the authorization back to the authorization diskette:
1. insert the yellow original authorization diskette in your floppy disk drive, for
example, drive A.
2. Start the "Authorsw.exe" program on the hard disk drive.
3. Select the drive on which your authorization is located. All the authorizations
found on this drive are displayed.
4. Select the relevant authorization.
5. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the selected authorization to drive A:\.
The authorization is transferred to the authorization diskette.
6. Close the dialog box if you do not want to remove any further authorizations.
You can use this diskette again to install the authorization.
