Q. What if a user has multiple Microsoft Windows accounts?
A. This would function the same as multiple users on a single PC. The administrator would have to
create a different identity for each account.
Q. What is the difference between user and administrator rights for Credential Manager for HP
ProtectTools?

machines?

A. Currently HP ProtectTools is supported on Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP, and
Microsoft Windows Vista.

PKCS#11 component.

Windows application. Select the HP ProtectTools application to be removed and then click the
Uninstall button.
