This article discusses the process of uninstalling Nimbus AutoMate software.  Nimbus AutoMate is a .net Windows Service that is installed on your LAN and was used to synchronise the Practice Management Database with Nimbus and optionally a nominated folder structure to the Nimbus Practice site in the Cloud.

Before commencing this process, you will need access to the following:

  • Administrative access to your Nimbus account.
  • Ensure that *nimbushost.net is listed under the Trusted Sites

Perform the following:

  • Login to server where Nimbus AutoMate is installed.
    • If the URL for the account is not known, then you can run the AutoMate executable from C:\Program Files\Nimbus Technology\AutoMate\NimbusAutoMate.exe and for this pop up:

      Select Yes and this will take you to the Account URL that AutoMate is connected to.
  • Login to your Nimbus Account
    • Select Admin / AutoMate
    • Click the Install button - Nimbus will run the AutoMate application from the Nimbus server
    • Click the Run button
  • The Nimbus AutoMate Install dialogue will display
  • Click Uninstall service, answer Yes to uninstall the AutoMate service
  • The Nimbus AutoMate Install dialogue will display again, and will only offer the Install Service and the Configure buttons
  • The Nimbus AutoMate service has now been uninstalled.
