If you do not want to use the Symantec License Inventory Manager, you can remove the agent using the operating system package removal commands to remove the agent packages, which include SYMClma and VRTSsmf.
The server and access point also use the VRTSsmf package. If the server or access point is installed on this host with the agent, you can remove the SYMClma package, but not the VRTSsmf package. If neither the server nor the access point is installed on this host, you can remove both the SYMClma and VRTSsmf packages.
If you remove both packages, remove the SYMClma package first.
Package removal commands required to remove the agent lists the commands required to remove these packages on the supported platforms.
Later, you can reinstall the agent with the Symantec License Inventory Manager installation disc. This disc is available in the Symantec License Inventory Manager kit.
