How to UN-network a system?
I have a very specialized software program (specific to my healthcare industry), which I installed. It needs a special unlock code which I put in, but the program gives me an error code ""this system is not authorized to run on a network". I called tech support for this software and they asked me if my computer was networked. I told them I had an I.T. guy come out to set me up for wireless internet that ran through a wireless card router(Kyocera KR1). But I think the I.T. guy also networked my two laptops somehow.
Anyway, the software tech support guy said I'd have to dis-engage my network for the software to work. So, I went into "control panel", then "Network Connections" and disabled both the 'Local Area Connection' and also the 'Wireless Network Connection'. After doing that I went back to open the software and it again says "this system is not authorized to run on a network".
What else can I do to try to disable the networked computer?
Thanks
