Risk of Data Loss

The Manage ZEN Settings tool allows you to delete the settings of your application, even if you have not backed them up before, which results in data loss.

  1. Back up your settings before deleting to prevent data loss. Alternatively, contact your local Zeiss service representative before using this tool.

Limitation for Data Backup, Deletion and Restoration

Note that only the data for the current windows user will be saved or deleted. If you have a system with several users you have to do this for every windows user!

Although they are backed up, license and MTB files will not be restored automatically with this software tool.
