When would I need to do this?

• When you no longer want to use RDA for that company and don't want users to access the company data remotely
• As part of the process to reset Remote Data Access, which is a fix if you’re experiencing issues with RDA
• Sage 50 Accounts v27 only - You want to set up a different computer to be the main site on RDA
