Important Note for NT Users

AIR ID is a security application that tightly integrates to Window

NT’s security system. Therefore care must be taken when

installing and un-installing AIR ID or you may render your NT

system inoperable. If you are installing or updating your AIR ID

system on an NT system, it is important that you follow these

instructions:

• As with all NT installs you should update your emergency disk

prior to any software changes to your system. Keep this disk in

safe and secure place since it contains security information

about your system.

• Perform a tape backup of your NT system prior to any

installation or removal of the AIR ID software.

• In order to install or uninstall you must have an account with

administration privileges. Be sure to log onto NT using an

administrator enabled account.

• Uninstall the existing AIR ID

software from your system using

the add/remove program option with in the Windows NT Control

Panel. Follow the uninstall wizard instructions. Note that some

files may warn that they are being shared and should not be

uninstalled.

• It is IMPORTANT that you RE-BOOT your system prior to

installing the new AIR ID system. This action will make sure the

registry is updated and the GINA is properly deleted. Failure to

perform this step WILL render your system inoperable. After

rebooting, you may then install the new version of AIR ID

following the wizard instructions.

• Since NT users may use their AIR ID badge to perform the

username and NT password into the AIR ID system.

• AIR ID has been designed for NT 4.0 SP3+, W2000. Do not

install AIR ID onto version of NT above or below these versions

without first contacting HID.
