How to Cancel Opera 3

To cancel or uninstall Pegasus Opera 3, you need to follow a series of steps to ensure a complete and orderly process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Uninstalling Opera 3

• Log Off and Close Applications: Ensure all users are logged out of Opera 3. Close any running instances of the application.
• Stop Services: If Opera 3 is running as a service, stop the service before proceeding with the uninstallation.
• Uninstall Software: Go to the Control Panel (or Settings in newer Windows versions) and navigate to the "Uninstall a program" or "Add or remove programs" section. Find Pegasus Opera 3 in the list of installed programs and select it to initiate the uninstallation process. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation.

Removing Associated Components

• Remove Scheduler and Stocktake: If you have installed Pegasus Scheduler or Pegasus Stocktake, follow the specific uninstallation instructions for these components as outlined in the [Installation Guide].
• Remove Document Management: If Document Management is installed, refer to the separate guide for uninstallation instructions available on the Pegasus Help Centre.

Data Management

• Backup Data: Before making any changes, ensure you have a full backup of your company data.
• Update Company Profiles: If you need to move the company data, do this manually using Windows Explorer. Update the data path on the Company Profiles form for each company to the new location if necessary.

Post-Uninstallation Steps

• Remove Old Installation: After uninstalling Opera 3, you can remove the old installation files. However, ensure all necessary data has been backed up and transferred as needed.
• Append Reports: If you had custom reports appended to the Opera II menus, you may need to append them to the new menus if you are upgrading to a different version.

Additional Considerations

• Bespoke Applications: If you are using any bespoke applications or reports with Opera II, these must be carefully tested to ensure compatibility with the new version if you are upgrading.
• User Preferences: Ensure each user checks their system preferences to ensure they are correct after the uninstallation and any subsequent installation of a new version.

By following these steps, you can ensure a complete and orderly cancellation or uninstallation of Pegasus Opera 3. For detailed instructions and specific guidance, refer to the [Installation Guide] and [Implementation Guide] available on the Pegasus Help Centre.
