Mailing of Installation Files

After a new stations account is created in the Control Center, the personal installation package for Dr.Web Agent installation is generated. Installation package contains the Anti-virus installer and the set of parameters for connecting to Dr.Web Server and for authorization of the station at Dr.Web Server (description of installation package and the process of Dr.Web Agent installation via this package is given in the Installation Manual, in the Local Installation of Dr.Web Agent section).

After the installation package is created, for the convenience of their distribution, you can send specific installation packages to the user's email.

To send installation packages, the email content is formed the following way:

1.Attachments are forbidden in the settings (the Send the link only flag is set, see below): only links for downloading the packages are sent in the email.

2.Operating system of the station is known (attachments are allowed):

a)Windows OS: the letter attachment contains the Dr.Web Agent for Windows installation package.

b)Linux OS, macOS, Android OS: the letter attachment contains the configuration file with the settings for connecting to Dr.Web Server and the link to download the Dr.Web Agent installation package for the corresponding operating system.

3.Operating system of the station is unknown—new station account, Dr.Web Agent in not yet installed (attachments are allowed):

a)If Dr.Web Server does not contain the packages for stations under Linux OS, macOS, Android OS (in particular, Dr.Web enterprise products are not downloaded on Dr.Web Server): the letter attachment contains the Dr.Web Agent for Windows installation package and the configuration file with the settings for connecting to Dr.Web Server for stations under Linux OS, macOS, Android OS.

b)If Dr.Web Server contains at least one package except packages for stations under Windows OS: the letter attachment contains the Dr.Web Agent for Windows installation package, the configuration file with the settings for connecting to Dr.Web Server for stations under Linux OS, macOS, Android OS, and the link to download installation packages for stations under Linux OS, macOS, Android OS.

3.In the Mailing of installation files opened section, specify the following parameters:
