Cannot unregister vShield Manager 5.1

I have an evaluation of vCloud Networking and Security 5.1 running on vCenter 5 and vSphere 5 Desktop Hosts which I've sucessfully installed, tested and now wish to remove.

I've remove all the services (e.g, vShield App, vShield Edge, vShield Endpoint) from the hosts but I am unable to remove/unregsiter vShield Manager.

Logging into the web interface shows no place to "unregister" the plugin from vCenter and the manual tells you how to uninstall everything but vShield Manager.

Am I missing something...can I just delete the evaluation from Licensing and then delete to service applicance?

Any insight would help.

I've got the same problem here. I changed the IP-address of the vSM and now I wish to unregister an then register again.

EDIT: I've solved my problem. It was just a clientside problem. After changing the IP vSM registerd itself with the new IP on the vCenter. I just needed to restart the vSphere client ....

I Followed the "mob" method on the following guide to remove the vShield Manager 5.1 Plugin:

http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10847

I also removed the vCloud Security evaluation asset from licensing afterwards...
