Learn how to install Process Discovery Sensor on your machine.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you install Process Discovery Sensor as a user on your machine, and not on a system level. Any user with privileges to run an MSI installer, and write permissions to their own user folder, can perform the installation. If you are using Microsoft SCCM or other software deployment solutions to deploy the MSI, make sure it is deployed as the user you are deploying it to.

  2. Unzip the msi file if you have received it as a zip file.
  3. Double-click the msi file to launch the Installation Wizard.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Click Next to continue with your organization, endpoint, and port information.
    Your customer information is already populated in the fields provided.
  6. Click Install on the Ready to Install Process Discovery window to begin the installation.
  7. Click Finish to exit the Setup Wizard.
    The installation is complete and the Process Discovery Sensor is now running. A shortcut displays on your desktop and a pop-up message displays informing you that Process Discovery Sensor has started recording. The Process Discovery icon is displays in your system tray.
  8. To quit the recording, right-click the Process Discovery icon in the system tray and click Quit.
