Whatever your Account Manager is, you need to detach there. Actually, BAM took care of this automatically. I would think Grid Republic would too, eventually. BAM changed the URL on their end, and then automatically detached and reattached all clients. ID: 16968 · Reply Quote

I have tried to attach and created a 2nd copy of LHC. I can (and have) "Detach"ed from the 2nd one... Problem is I can not "detach" from the original one because button is Greyed out. There are 5 commands in the Projects tab: 1. Update 2. Resume 3. No new tasks. 4 Reset and 5. Detach (which is greyed out any other suggestions? ID: 16977 · Reply Quote

If you are using an account manager like Bam you need to use it to detach not the Boinc manager. ID: 16978 · Reply Quote

Any projects "attached" by an Account Manager should be detached by going to the AMS's website. If you're detaching in client, AMS will just re-attach you next time you connects to AMS. For this reason, detach is greyed-out in the client for these projects. Anyway, it's still possible to manually delete the account_*.xml-file for a project and re-start BOINC-client.

Even after running the BAM Account Manager in update mode on the local client, the Project did not detach. I ended up logging onto the local computer, detaching BAM, detaching the Project, reattaching the Project and then reattaching BAM. ID: 16982 · Reply Quote

I tried them all to the best i could. The suggestion to manually delete the "account_.xml" worked. I did a search for "account_.xml" on my C: drive. and found multiple hits. realized it was the account_LHC entry in the C:\\Program Files\\Boinc entry that needed to be deleted. I deleted it. Restarted Boinc Manager. LHC no longer there... Attached to Projects in the Tools option...and attached to Lhcathome... ALL is now OK. lhcathome now has the Command "Detach" highlighted.
