Introduction

Sometimes Summa support will advise to make a clean install of SummaFlex. In this case you will have to follow the procedure below to make sure all files are properly “removed” before you start with the installation of the software.

Instead of “removing” the old data Summa does recommend to move all program files data to another location on the hard disc. When needed you still can retrieve critical files.

License code

Before un-install make sure you have your license file or code.

Serial number (license code) or ECFN file is needed than you can download this data from the Summa website: www.summa.eu/summaflex 

If that fails you can also retrieve the code from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Summa\SummaFlex Pro\eurocut.ini"

Open the file in notepad and search for "Code", there you will find the license code.

Backup old SummaFlex data

Copy the current SummaFlex folder to another location on the hard disc;

For example copy from “C:\Program Files (x86)\Summa\SummaFlex Pro” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Summa\SummaFlex Pro.old”
