How to uninstall Privilege software
Product Line
TAC Vista
Environment
- Vista IV Licensing prior to 4.25
- Aladdin Privilege Administrator 2.01
Cause
Need to completely remove a Vista IV installation including all traces of Aladdin Privilege Administrator.
Resolution
Version 2.01 is mentioned in the description below, but process is similar with other Privilege software versions. Also, process may look slightly different in different Windows versions. To remove:
- Run the uninstaller for Privilege 2.01
- Go to the Windows Control Panel and if there is still an entry for Privilege Licenser - if there is - remove it
- Delete the Privilege directory (default location: C:\Program Files\Aladdin).
- Go to the system32 folder and delete the directories PLog and PData.
- From the same folder, delete the files: PLInst.exe, PLockDiag.exe, PLServ.exe, PLAdmin.dll, PLCLNT.DLL, PLEsd.dll, PLInstall.dll, PLLG.dll.
- Run Regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Aladdin Knowledge Systems and delete Privilege Licenser. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Aladdin Knowledge Systems and delete Privilege Licenser.
- Reboot and reinstall.
