To limit access to uninstall Sage Pro through the Add/Remove Programs list in the Control Panel of Microsoft Windows use the suggestions provided below.

• Install Sage Pro on a trusted administrator’s workstation rather than from a regular employee’s workstation. Administrators should be informed as to the implications of uninstalling Sage Pro from this workstation.
• Rename the Uninst.isu file found in the root directory of the Sage Pro installation folder. This will completely avoid the possibility of a user uninstalling Sage Pro. This will display the following message when a user attempts to uninstall Sage Pro from the Add/Remove Programs list:Unable to locate the installation log file ‘Uninst.isu’.
