Removing software packages

Use this procedure to remove selected software packages from the Message Networking system.

Note: You cannot remove the US English language software package from the system.

Software removals require the voice system to stop. Plan to do the installation during low usage hours.

To remove software:

1. Start at the Administration menu and select Utilities > Software Management > Software Removal.
   The Software Removal page displays.
2. Check the box next to the software package or packages that you want to remove.
3. Click Submit.
   When you select this button, the list of selected packages to be removed is displayed for confirmation. This list is displayed in alphabetical order on the Software Removal - Confirmation page.

   If you are removing a language package, the following warnings might display:

   • A warning displays that removing the package is inadvisable if the language is administered as the preferred language of any subscribers.
   • If you are attempting to remove US English, a warning displays that the package is the default package and should not be removed.
4. Click Continue to begin removing all selected software packages or click Abort to return to the Software Management Menu without removing any software packages.

   If you select Continue, the interface changes to display the scrolling output of the removal process. This output can be re-examined either upon completion or at a later time through the Installation/Removal Logs Display. When the removal process is complete, its status is reported. See Software Installation Messages for more information.

5. Click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
