Windows 10: Flexnet Connect, Common Software Manager, uninstall; what's wrong with this picture?

Am I the only one that finds it troubling that I have to go to the website of the company making software I don’t want or trust, to download and install more software from a company I dont trust, to get rid of the software I don’t want? Everything Ive read says the same thing; I have to go to the Flexnet webpage and download an uninstaller. Is that really the only way to get rid of Flexnet Connect or Common Software Manager?


Windows doesn't have a way of uninstalling this stuff? Is there NOT another way?


I would appreciate some other advice on uninstalling this software. Thank you.

:)

 

How do I uninstall FLEXnet Connect Software Manager?


A specific tool is suggested here though I know nothing of it:
uninstall - Removing FLEXnet Connect Update Manager - Super User

Revo Uninstaller (free/commercial) would be my first thought - as there's no uninstaller, you need to click 'Forced Uninstall' and browse to the program's exe file as suggested here:

How do I uninstall FLEXnet Connect Software Manager?


I installed Roxio easy CD&DVD burning and it installed FLEXnet Connect Agent and FLEXnet Connect Software Manager. I Can't find anyway to uninstall this. Could I just delete C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet and C:\ProgramData\Macrovision\FLEXnet Connect?

Please help!
