RFIPSC Quick Start Guide

The installer will run Installation Wizard, which creates the initial configuration and sets
up the SSH Sentinel client software.

Note

:  If a previous version of the SSH Sentinel software is installed on your computer

and you try to install a new version, the wizard updates the software and the steps
described here are skipped.

3.  When started, the Installation Wizard goes through a sequence of basic installation
dialogs, displaying the licensing agreement and allowing you to select the installation
directory and the program folder.  The installation can only be performed on a local
computer. Remote installation of SSH Sentinel is not possible, because the installation
program updates kernel mode components related to networking and remote access.

Figure 3.  Licensing Agreement

Note that the installation will terminate immediately if you do not accept the licensing
agreement.
