Installing the protection with the distribution tool

Once you have installed the distribution tool, you have to open it in order to deploy the protection to your computers. You will then see the main window from which you can install and uninstall the protection.

When selecting the computers on which to install the protection, the distribution tool lets you do this on the basis of two criteria: by domain or by IP address/computer name.

By domain

Click Install protection.
Click By domain.
Indicate the group of computers (optional).
In the tree, find the computers to which you want to distribute the protection, and select the relevant checkboxes.

Optionally, you can enter a user name and password with administrator privileges on the selected computers.

It is advisable to use a domain administrator password. This way, you won't have to specify the user name and password of every computer.

By IP address or computer name

Click By IP or computer name.
Indicate the group of computers (optional).
Select the computers to which you want to distribute the protection.
