Disabling Covenant Eyes on your computer primarily involves uninstalling the software, a process that requires a specific Uninstall Code generated by your account administrator.
Understanding Covenant Eyes Disabling
For Covenant Eyes, "disabling monitoring" is synonymous with uninstalling the application from your computer. There isn't a feature to temporarily pause or disable its core functionality without removing the software entirely. This design ensures consistent accountability for users.
The Essential Uninstall Code
To successfully uninstall Covenant Eyes from any computer, you must have an Uninstall Code. This code acts as a security measure, preventing unauthorized or impulsive removal of the monitoring software.
- Who Generates It? The Account Admin (Administrator) of your Covenant Eyes account is the only one who can generate an Uninstall Code. They can do this at any time through their administrative dashboard.
- Admin Control: The Account Admin also has the ability to manage permissions, including removing a member's Uninstall Permission. If this permission is revoked, a user will not be able to generate an Uninstall Code, even if they have access to the dashboard.
Steps to Uninstall Covenant Eyes
The process of uninstalling Covenant Eyes is straightforward once you have the necessary Uninstall Code.
1. Obtain the Uninstall Code
- Contact Your Account Admin: Reach out to the Account Admin for your Covenant Eyes account. They will need to generate a specific Uninstall Code for you.
- Admin Generation: The Admin typically logs into the Covenant Eyes website, navigates to the account management section, and finds the option to generate an Uninstall Code for a specific user or device.
2. Access Your Computer's Uninstall Settings
The exact steps vary slightly depending on your operating system (Windows or macOS).
- On Windows:
- Click the Start menu (Windows icon) and search for "Control Panel."
- Open Control Panel, then select Programs > Programs and Features.
- Alternatively, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
- Locate "Covenant Eyes" in the list of installed programs.
- On macOS:
- Open Finder.
- Go to the Applications folder.
- Locate the "Covenant Eyes" application.
3. Initiate the Uninstallation Process
- On Windows:
- Select "Covenant Eyes" from the list and click Uninstall.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. You will be asked to enter the Uninstall Code.
- On macOS:
- Drag the "Covenant Eyes" application icon from the Applications folder to the Trash (Dock icon).
- Empty the Trash.
- You will likely be prompted to enter your computer's administrator password and then the Covenant Eyes Uninstall Code during this process.
4. Enter the Uninstall Code
When prompted, carefully enter the Uninstall Code provided by your Account Admin. This is a critical step; without the correct code, the uninstallation will not proceed.
5. Complete the Uninstallation
Follow any remaining on-screen instructions to finalize the removal of Covenant Eyes from your computer. Once completed, monitoring will cease on that device.
What If You Can't Get the Uninstall Code?
If you are unable to obtain the Uninstall Code, either because the Account Admin has removed your permission to generate it or they are unavailable, you will not be able to uninstall Covenant Eyes. In such cases, direct communication with your Account Admin is the only solution.
