Agent Third-Party Deployment: Uninstalling FlexNet Inventory Agent from UNIX
FlexNet Manager Suite ()
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/managesoftsince 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
flxrasvcaccount as well as the entire agent data directory from the UNIX system , because there is file system data owned by this account.
| Platform | Uninstallation command line |
|---|---|
| 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 ``` |
| Debian Linux x86 and x86\_64 | ``` dpkg --purge managesoft ``` |
| Linux x86 and x86\_64 | ``` rpm --erase --verbose managesoft ``` |
| Mac OS X | ``` /opt/managesoft/bin/uninstall-managesoft.command -force ``` |
| Solaris x86 and SPARC | ``` echo action=nocheck > admin.mgs pkgrm -n -a admin.mgs ManageSoft rm -f admin.mgs ``` |
