Installing Dr.Web Agent via the Group Installation Package

To install Dr.Web Agent on protected stations via the group installation package

1.Via the Control Center, create a new user group on Dr.Web Server (detailed description of groups creation is given in the Administrator Manual, p. Creating and Deleting Groups). Also, you can use the existing group you have created before.

2.If necessary, in the License Manager assign the personal license key for the group. Otherwise, the group inherits a license key from its parent group.

3.Via the Control Center, create accounts for new stations on Dr.Web Server. Add new station accounts to the user group from step 1 and make this group primary to them. You can create as many stations within the user group as many available licenses are available for this group.

4.In the group properties, the link for the group installation package becomes available. Installation packages are divided by available operating systems: one installation package for each operating system.

5.Send the link to the Dr.Web Agent installation package for the corresponding operating system of the computer or mobile device to the station users if they are installing the Dr.Web Agent software on their own. The same group installation package for the corresponding operation system is sent to all users.

6.Install Dr.Web Agent on the workstations.

info

Local installation of Dr.Web Agent on workstations is described in the User Manual for corresponding OS.

warning

Dr.Web Agent should be installed by a user with the administrator rights to the computer.

 

If anti-virus software has already been installed on a workstation, then before starting installation the installer will attempt to remove it. If the attempt fails, the user will have to uninstall the anti-virus software from his computer by himself.

7.After Dr.Web Agent is installed, Dr.Web Agent connects to the Dr.Web Server specified in the group installation package. At first connection to Dr.Web Server, it is determined whether free stations are available in the user group, the group installation package of which has been used for the Dr.Web Agent installation. The number of free stations is defined by the number of accounts in this group, which have not expired. At each connection of a group installation package, the number of free stations is recalculated to provide the actual information.

a)If free stations are available, parameters for the authorization of the station at Dr.Web Server are granted automatically. This procedure does not require any additional administrator intervention.

b)If free stations are not available in this group, the installation is terminated with corresponding notification of a user.
