Is cpclean still around and supported?

Scenario is to remove a number of SmartConsole instances from a Windows host all in one go, avoiding the manual unistall of each one.

I believe this is a legacy tool and wasn't designed for this specific purpose.

OK. Thanks.

Its an old tool, but if you need it, I can probably get it for you and most likely would help in your case.

Not to worry, thanks. It's no big deal.
I probably have a copy on an old hard drive from 10+ years ago 😄

Man, 10 years ago seems like eternity, haha. Anyway, I got it, its from 2013, so if you want it, just send the secure server I can dump it for you. By the way, my little disclaimer, its totally not guaranteed tool will work, so dont shoot the messenger if it breaks anything : - )

This is cpclean.exe from sk38826 CPclean utility for Full Disk Encryption Pointsec PC - version 6.x, 7.x and E80, April 2009 - was used to remove EPS installation from Windows completely. So nothing for SmartConsole, sorry...

G_W_Albrecht — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 07:28:48 GMT

Check_Point_Full_Disk_Encryption_CPclean_v80.5.0.zip from 1.9.2014 - contains the 2013 builds of CPClean_FDE.exe and CPClean_FDE.dll.

If it really starts you could uninstall PointSec FDE 6.x, 7.x or E80 completely !

@Don_Paterson

CPClean is no longer supported with our newer client installs, E80.40, and Smart Dashboard/Console installs since E80.40/R75.40/R76. Please DO NOT USE IT. I will likely cause corruption and make the issue worse than actually help.

CPClean or any cleaner tool we have should no longer be used.

Thanks Justin.

Thats fair, but I tried it before and it DOES work : - )

Re: cpclean

@the_rock

Although it works please DO NOT USE IT. If it causes an issue we cannot support it since we do not support any cleaner tools any longer and we have no plans to create any new ones. These older tools were not create to understand our newer client architecture and can cause serious damage to the Endpoint Client and the OS to where a reimage may be necessary.

I used it and works fine. I know its unsupported, so I would never bother TAC if something went wrong, trust me 🙂

If you still have a copy I would most grateful.

Re: cpclean

_Val_ — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 07:20:51 GMT

@JPFG CPCLEAN tool is obsolete and should not be used. Also, distribution of bynaries out of official channels is not allowed as a violation of EULA.

If you have a real case for this, open a TAC request.

Re: cpclean

the_rock — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 11:24:46 GMT

@JPFG

As @_Val_ has stated, tool is totally obsolete and has been unsupported for over 10 years. If I was allowed to give it, trust me, I would, no issues, but it goes against EULA and Im not here to break any rules, sorry.

You are more than welcome to ask TAC about it though.

Good luck!

This is software museum, last build 12 years old... Never try this anywhere!

It might be "museum", but it did the job lol
