Availability of SEP Installation Media

Please note that SEP installation media can only be downloaded from within the university hospital LAN or affiliated school computer terminals. If you are off-campus, you will not be able to access the download link.

Installation Limitations

For personally owned computers, installation is possible for one terminal only. However, for school-owned computer terminals and university hospital computers, anti-virus software can be installed an unlimited number of times.

Before Uninstalling SEP

Before using the uninstall tool, please prepare for failure by taking a system backup beforehand. Additionally, if you use this tool in an important environment, we cannot guarantee its performance or respond to any unexpected behavior.

SEP Installation and Coexistence Issues
