add and remove programs

Unless your software came with an uninstall script to remove the files and executables from the directories where they were loaded, you may have to delete them by hand. Look for a script such as ./uninstall on the originating CD. I'm not near an AIX box right now but try running $smit from a command prompt. This will run the admin tool and may have a feature to perform the uninstall task (however I don't think so). If your not worried about space you can leave the old program were it is, just remove it's directory from the PATH variable and it won't find itself. In order to access your new program you need to create a CD file system, try df -k at the command line this will list your devices. Check for one that says CDFS. You need to mount that device, was mounted it can be accessed.

To remove software, look at man page for installp with -u option, or
smitty install --> software maintenance --> remove software

To install software mount the CD and do smitty install.
