3. Select Aptify 5.5 from the list of installed programs and click Remove.
   • The Uninstall wizard launches automatically.
      
4. When prompted, click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the program from your computer.
5. When prompted that the uninstall is complete, click Finish to close the window.
6. Close the Add or Remove Programs window.
7. If still present on the computer, delete the Aptify folder (typically, C:\Program Files\Aptify 5.0 unless you installed the client on the server and specified a different location for the install files) to complete the uninstall process.
8. Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > SQL Server Management Studio to open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

10. Delete the APTIFY database from the SQL server.

11. Delete any SQL Server logins that are no longer required.
