When I replace the computer with a new one, how do I reinstall to use the e-Parcel client software as well?

 To replace the computer with a new one, install the latest version of the e-Parcel client software in a new computer and uninstall the existing e-Parcel client software from a previous computer. For more details, refer to the following operation procedures. The manuals listed below are also helpful.

[Operation overview]

In New PC, download and install both the e-Parcel client digital certificate and software.

In Old PC, to uninstall the software, select the Windows "Start" menu > e-Parcel > Uninstall VCN-xxxxx

* For Windows 8 or earlier: The "Start" menu > All Programs > e-Parcel > [software name] > Uninstall VCN-xxxxx

* If you cannot uninstall for the reason that the previous computer was broken or abandoned, just take the procedures for a new computer to newly install the certificate and software.

* Note that the existing e-Parcel client software will be offline (inactive) in a previous computer just after the same e-Parcel ID has been setup on the software in a new computer.
