Issue

You need to uninstall On-Screen Takeoff/Digital Production Control or Quick Bid. 

Discussion

There are reasons why you may want to uninstall the products:

  1. You are getting a new computer (be sure to check out: Moving your data to a new Computer - OST QB DPC).
  2. You are upgrading to a version of OST/QB/DPC that requires that you manually uninstall the previous version (be sure to backup your databases, see your User Guide for details).
  3. You no longer wish to use the software or have decided not to purchase.

Resolution

Before you uninstall a program, be sure to return your license by clicking File > Check Authorization, and then return any licenses, see Related Articles for details on licensing OCS Classic software.

You uninstall the application from the Windows Apps & Features list, to open Apps & Features, 

Windows 10

Right-click the Start button and select "Apps and Features"

Windows 10 Start Menu

In the Apps & Features List, locate the program you want to uninstall, in our example, On-Screen Takeoff.

Windows 10 Apps & Features list

Click "Uninstall" - you'll be prompted to confirm the action. 

The uninstall process takes a minute or so. 

Windows 8.1

Right-click the Start button and select "Programs and Features"

Windows 8.1 Start Menu

In the Apps & Features List, locate the program you want to uninstall, again, in our example "On-Screen Takeoff".

Click the row and then click "Uninstall" - you'll be prompted to confirm this action.

Windows 8.1 Programs and Features list

The uninstall process takes a minute or so to complete. 

Note

When you uninstall the programs, your data (databases) is not removed. By Default, they'll remain at C:\OCS Documents (unless you stored them someplace else).

Also, your program settings (the options you've set, if any, in Tools > Options) are also preserved. Please Contact Support if you would like assistance with removing these.
