7. Click **Finish**.

**User (Client-Side) Notifications**
------------------------------------

By default, the operation is performed as soon as the client gets the request, and the user is not notified. This behavior can be changed in SmartEndpoint and in the Endpoint Web Management Console. SmartEndpoint is more flexible.  

Here is a notification that corresponds to the Server-side configuration:

**Note:**

* Depending on the blades installed, uninstallation of the Endpoint Security Client can require several reboots. **Reboot is performed automatically and the user cannot prevent it.**
* Audit logs (SmartLog) of an uninstall push operation are not sent by a client that is being uninstalled.
* **After installation success, client objects reside on the server side, until they are removed after a defined period of time (usually 30 days).**
