The PaperCut User Client has the ability to remember your identity when using an Unauthenticated Computer such as a Laptop or Workgroup machine. This makes it quick and easy to see your balance.

If however there are multiple users for the machine, you may wish the client to not store this username. This is done by using the "neverrequestidentity" option either via the command line pc-client-local-cache.exe --neverrequestidentity or via the config.properties file and changing #neverrequestidentity=Y to neverrequestidentity=Y

But I already saved the username?

If you do tick the "Remember my identity" checkbox, the username will be saved to the following files. Simply remove that line from the file and restart the client and you're good to go again.

• Windows Vista/7 - C:\Users\[username]\pc-client.properties
• Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\pc-client.properties
• Mac - /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/PCClient/config.properties
