AB Tutor clean up utility & MacOS Screen share permission reset

The AB Tutor cleanup utility is the most effective way to remove AB Tutor from a machine. However don't run it on the Central Server machine. 
For Windows the Download link is as follows:

For MacOS the clean up script is as follows:


sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.abtutor.abmaintainer.plist ; \ 
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.abtutor.ABTutorClient.plist ; \
sudo killall Console ; \
sudo rm -rf \
/var/lib/abtutor \
/var/log/abtutor \
/etc/abtutor \
/var/cache/abtutor \
/Library/Application\ Support/ABMaintainer \
/Library/Application\ Support/ABClient.app \
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.abtutor.abmaintainer.plist \
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.abtutor.ABTutorClient.plist \
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.abtutor.agent.plist \
/Applications/ABTutor.app

Since MacOS 10.15 the Permission dialog prompt will only appear once. If it is dismissed or closed it will never appear again. The option to have this dialog appear can happen again by doing the following:

tccutil reset ALL com.abtutor.client

This will reset all permissions for the AB Tutor Client. If you just wish to reset ScreenCapture for the purposes of watch the command below is recommended instead.

tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.abtutor.client
