Problem
At some point in the past you clicked this ‘Store Locally’ button:
Skip to the present day and you find yourself in a situation where Ekahau displays duplicate coverage profiles.
Solution
You can clean out those locally stored coverage profiles by deleting a ‘locally stored’ .json
file.
on Windows
- Open up your file explorer
- Navigate to:
C:\Users\<username>\Ekahau Pro\
- The dir that we need is called
.settings
and is a hidden folder
C:\Users\<username>\Ekahau Pro\.settings
- Make sure Ekahau is not running
- you can delete this
coverageRequirements.json
- or if you are ‘risk averse’ you can move the file to your desktop (allowing you to restore that file later, if you like that kind of thing)
- Launch Ekahau again, you should now only see the default set of coverage requirements
on macOS
- Quit Ekahau (if running)
- Launch Finder
- Select ‘Go’ from the Menu Bar
- Select ‘Go to Folder…’
~/Users/<username>/Library/Ekahau Pro/.settings
.settings
is a hidden folder FYI
- This is the ‘local’ copy of
coverageRequirements
we want to delete
