    • Not only can this remove the agent, but it can be used to install the 6.3.2.858 agent, or to upgrade to it.
    • Two things: 1) Any chance of adding a feature in the tool to change the address of the PLUS server for the client without a reinstall? 2) Where does the new agent to install come from? It is not clear from the docs.
