configuration file has been changed in an installed, integrity-stamped package,
pcAnywhere will not run.
If you use integrity management, you must exclude the pcAnywhere Manager

are restricted from changing or updating pcAnywhere in any way, including
installation of software upgrades using LiveUpdate. When updates are needed,
