Removing ACE Software from Your Computer Removing an ACE bundle or the Quality Pack from your system can lead to unexpected consequences, including a non-functional or partially functioning operating system. This is true even if you have installed the software on an older-model workstation that does not require the ACE software in order to run. The ACE bundles and Quality Packs are collections of patches. As such, they interact with each other, and also with patches that you load individually on your system. You, the system administrator, should not remove one of these bundles unless you thoroughly understand the HP-UX 10.x patch program and the limitations of the SD-UX tools when loading, replacing, or deleting patches from a system. If you choose to remove an ACE bundle or Quality Pack from your system, ﬁrst make a backup copy of your ﬁle system, so that you can roll back to a known good system in case you experience problems with the software removal process. After you complete the backup, remove the software following the guidelines in the SD-UX documentation and the HP-UX 10.x Patch Program white paper. 19
