To Add devices for Documents, follow the steps below:
- Log in to the Management Console under a SuperUser account belonging to a reseller or end-customer
- Click Add device, select Servers and Workstations
-
Using the toggle in the upper right-hand corner of the wizard, switch to Documents Installation
-
Select the Customer to install the device for from the dropdown
- Select the Operating System for your device:
- Windows
- macOS
- Select the Encryption method:
- Managed - this encryption method will provide a system-generated passphrase to be used for all recovery from this device
- Self-managed - this encryption method allows you to create a custom Encryption Key/Security Code to be used for all recovery from this device
This encryption method is not available for Documents backup installation
- Click Next
- Confirm the device settings are correct
- Download the installation package from the download link and take a note of the installation package name
- Click Finish
Do not change the installation package name from the one provided on your dialog. This is because the package name is a unique identifier for the specific customer and device and doing so will stop the installation from functioning appropriately.
A single executable file is good for multiple installations for the specified customer
Ways to run the installation package:
- Double-click on the installer executable
- Submit the name of the installer to command line, terminal emulator or a software distribution system. For example:
cove#24.10.102#ab1234c5-67d8-9ef0-g1h2-i34j56k789lm#.exeorcove#24.10.102#ab1234c5-67d8-9ef0-g1h2-i34j56k789lm#.run
The installation is silent, so no additional pop-ups or prompts will display on the device.
Do not change the name of the installation package. It contains unique information relating to the installation.
