Agent Third-Party Deployment: Uninstalling FlexNet Inventory Agent from UNIX

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

If you need to manually uninstall FlexNet Inventory Agent from a managed device, use the following command lines.

Note:

• If the agent as been installed for the full privilege default operation mode, the uninstallation will leave behind the folder /var/opt/managesoft since it may contain a package cache that a future re-install of the can use.
• If the agent has been installed for the least privilege operation mode, the uninstallation will remove the flxrasvc account as well as the entire agent data directory from the UNIX system , because there is file system data owned by this account.

AIX

For removal from the standard installation path, use:

installp -u managesoft

If you have used a custom installation path, known as a User Specified Installation Location (USIL), you must include the same USIL so that FlexNet Inventory Agent is removed from the correct object repository (and keep the options in this order):

installp -R path -u managesoft

dpkg --purge managesoft

rpm --erase --verbose managesoft

Mac OS X

echo action=nocheck > admin.mgs
pkgrm -n -a admin.mgs ManageSoft
