Appendix A: Uninstalling existing

software

nCipher recommends that you uninstall any existing older versions of Security World Software before

you install new software. If the installer detects an existing Security World Software installation, it asks

you if you want to install the new components. These components replace your existing installation.

The automated Security World Software installers do not delete other components or any key data and

Security World data that you have created.

The uninstaller removes only those files that were created during the installation.

Note: Before you uninstall the Security World Software, nCipher strongly recommends that you make a

secure backup of any key data and any existing Security World. See the User Guide for more

information.

Note: When upgrading the Security World Software, you do NOT need to delete key data or any

existing Security World. If you want to do so for other reasons, see the User Guide for more

information. If you do delete Security World data, it cannot be restored unless you have an up-

to-date backup and a quorum of the Administrator Card Set (ACS) is available.

Note: The file

Machine. The uninstall process may not delete this file. Before reinstalling over an old

installation, remove the

system for more about locating the Java Virtual Machine extensions folder.

Note: Because the hardserver is installed as a named service (known as the nFast server), it is only

possible to have one Security World Software installation on any given computer.

nCipher recommends that you do not uninstall the Security World Software unless you are

either certain it is no longer required, or you intend to upgrade it.
