capture of the dialog box) in case you need to reapply them after installing the new Client software.
Preferences might not be saved and applied automatically.
To check existing preferences and uninstall an existing Client version:
1. In the current version of Client Manager, open the Preferences dialog box, and write down any
preferences you have selected (if other than the default) for future reference. Close the dialog
box.
2. Open the Remote Hosts dialog box, and write down the names or IP addresses of any configured
remote hosts, then close the dialog box.
3. Open the Network Interface Settings dialog box, and write down which network interface is
selected, if more than one is listed, then close the dialog box.
4. Optionally, unmount any mounted Workspaces.
5. Close and quit the Client Manager.
6. Do one of the following, depending on your client operating system:
t On Windows clients: open the Windows Control Panel and select Programs and Features.
Select the Avid Client and click Uninstall.
When the uninstallation is complete, you are prompted to restart the system. However, you
can wait until after you install the new version to restart the client system.
