DesktopResponse™ Quickstart

Running DesktopResponse

Windows: Go to Start / Programs / DesktopResponse and click on DesktopResponse. When started you will see the following application window (see Fig 1 below). If you are running under NT/Win2000/XP, it is possible to configure DesktopResponse to run as a Service.

Once the main application window starts, there are two processes required to get DesktopResponse fully operational:

• Enter your registered icense key (trial license users can ignore this step)
• Configure the IP address and port for the web user interface

Running DesktopResponse for the First Time

Fig 2 Help --> License Key...

When you first run DesktopResponse after purchasing your license key you will need to enter the key to register. To enter your license key go to the Help menu and select License Key (see in Fig 2 above).  The license key dialog box will appear (see Fig 3 below). Trial versions of DesktopResponse will run without a license key for 15 days.

Your license key will be sent to you by email. Simply cut the entire string from the email and paste it into the license key edit field. Once you have entered a valid registered license key, all references to the application running as a trial will be removed and you will now be running a fully licensed version of DesktopResponse.

The next step is to enable the server so DesktopResponse can be accessed via the browser. This simply requires the user to select the IP address and the port number that DesktopResponse will use to communicate through.
