Excellent question. And I don't have a good answer. LoJack supports Windows 2000 up to Windows 8 and Mac OS 10.3 or higher. But nothing for Linux.
So I guess the question is what do you mean by a different OS. If to the same or different Windows version it should be reinstalled. If it was a Windows OS and somebody tried to install the Mac software I don't know. Can they even do that? If going from Windows to a Linux distro I don't know. My guess is it wouldn't work but I'm probably wrong. I'm sure it is something they thought about. Fortunately, the couple of clients that have this on their laptops haven't lost them. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 11:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: LoJack On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 12:07 PM, Art DeKneef <[email protected]> wrote: > You need the BIOS set to Activated and the software application agent > installed on the computer for it to fully work.

So what if I wipe the hard drive and install a different OS? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
