This trial program we tried won't go away (uninstall)

Question

This trial program we tried won't go away (uninstall)

I installed this program (trial version) ADMitMac, because we were having problems connecting to network folders (win server 03). Turns out we don't need it.

So I trashed the App and restarted. Now everytime the OS starts up, an error msg appears that says the program has run out of its trial version and needs to be licensed.

I did a spotlight on the word admit to see if there were any loose files... nothing.

1. HOW DO I get this msg to go away and make sure all traces of the app are gone?

I'm still having problems RE-connecting to network folders on startup, but I'm hopeing that problem will go away when I fix this one.

2. Also the user is complaining about a PRINT WIZARD that has disappeared. Anyone else have this problem?

Did you trash the preference file for AdmitMac?

Go to your home/library/preferences folder and see if there is one there for it.

I had this same problem about a year ago with AdmitMac and cannot remember all the places the program put things in. Seems to me there were files in the applications folder, the documents folder and somewhere else. I may have gone to their web site and found the answer in one of their FAQ pages.

You could also download it again, and see if the "read me" file tells you where it installed everything.

You can also check Accounts>Start Up Items in control panel, if the software left anything to start up automatically when you login.

I also believe it puts files in your home/library/application support folder.

Yeah, I downloaded it again and then ran the "official" uninstall program. That seemed to clear the licensing error. I also found entries in the 'directory access' utility.

I still have that connection problem on OS load and the print thing... but I'll start new thread for those. Thanks.

ADmitMac comes with an uninstaller stored at :

/Library/Application Support/ADmitMac/Uninstall ADmitMac

If you already deleted that file, try:
