The standard installation process
URL installation is the most common installation method. Client software is installed on each
computer individually. Users install the client software by downloading it to their computers
from a company-specific URL.
How standard installation works
1 Obtain your download URL from your Welcome email message, or create a customized
URL from the SecurityCenter.
2 Send the URL to users in an email message with instructions (optional).
3 From the client computer, enter the URL into a browser window.

Requirements for standard installation

To install Total Protection Service on a client computer by using a download URL:
• The client computer must have an Internet connection.
• The client computer's user must have local administrator rights.
NOTE: Administrator rights are not the default setting. Change the default Windows
configuration or deploy a standalone installation agent on the client computer (see Installing
the standalone installation agent ).

Sending an installation URL to users

As the administrator, you can obtain the company-specific installation URL in two ways:
• After signing up for Total Protection Service, you receive an email message containing the
installation URL that has been set up for your company. This URL installs all the protection
software you have subscribed to, and places it in your account's default group in the default
language of your account. You can copy this URL into an email message and send it to users.
• At any time, you can log on to your SecurityCenter and create a customized URL for users.
This enables them to install selected protection software in a designated group and language.
Use this task to create a customized installation URL and send it to users.
