How to remove author from sbc-template?

Question

I need use the sbc-template template to submit without author information, but the template throws an error when I comment the author command, and when I use author{} a ¹ is printed below the title. Any suggestion on to solve this?

I am using the sbc-template:

usepackage{sbc-template}

The extra ¹ you say is placed by the template before the address field, so I suppose you removed that too. The address field is preceded by inst{instnum}. To remove that you can redefine instnum to be empty as well:

documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{sbc-template}

title{Instructions for Authors of SBC Conferences Papers and Abstracts}

author{} % Clearing author field
address{} % Clearing address field
definstnum{} % Making instnum empty

begin{document}

maketitle

begin{abstract}
  This meta-paper describes the style to be used in articles and short papers
  for SBC conferences. For papers in English, you should add just an abstract
  while for the papers in Portuguese, we also ask for an abstract in
  Portuguese (``resumo''). In both cases, abstracts should not have more than
  10 lines and must be in the first page of the paper.
end{abstract}

end{document}

To avoid moving the text below authors and affiliation (i.e., keep a blank space where they are), you can use phantom{} at each line of authors and affiliation, then using definstnum{} to remove affiliation numbers.
