Missing ExamID and/or ExamMonitor tiles in Examplify for Windows or Mac

What you can do:
- Start Examplify and confirm that you have Examplify version 2.3.2 or later.
- To find the version number: Look in the lower right corner of the Examplify screen.
- If you have an earlier version of Examplify: Update Examplify. See: Examplify Update Guide
- If you have version 2.3.2 or later: In this case, the issue with the missing tiles indicates a problem with this installation of Examplify. Continue to the next step of this procedure.
- On the left side of the Examplify dashboard, if there are any exams in the DOWNLOADED list, remove them. To do so, select the exam, and then select Remove Exam Download.
- Select Home Menu > Settings.

Missing the "Clear Registration" button in Examplify for Windows or Mac
What happened: In Examplify, you selected Home Menu > Settings to clear your registration, but the Clear Registration button does not appear. This happens when Examplify is installed as a lab application. A lab application cannot run exams with ExamID or ExamMonitor.
What you can do: First, ask your instructor or exam manager to check your user settings in the ExamSoft administrator portal.
- If your account was mistakenly set up as a lab user account: Your instructor or exam manager needs to change this setting so that you can take exams with ExamID and ExamMonitor. After this is done, you should be able to proceed without any issues.
- If your account is not set up as a lab user: In this case, the missing button indicates a problem with this installation of Examplify. You need to completely uninstall Examplify and all related files so that you can do a "clean reinstall" afterward.
