Install Dwservice 3

-

Now it’s time to install the Dwservice software. Visit www.snipca.com/40124 and click Windows, then read through the warning about the software’s ability to give remote access to your computer. If you’re happy to proceed, click Download to download Dwservice. When it’s finished downloadin­g, launch the program.

Check the terms and conditions, privacy policy and licence, and if you agree with them, select Install, then click Next. When Windows asks if you’re happy for the software to make changes to your computer, click Yes. Work your way through the installati­on, selecting the default options and confirming that you want to install it in the default folder. When asked, ‘How would you like to configure the agent?’, click ‘Enter the installati­on code’.

Now, without closing the installer, switch to your browser and click the ‘Login/sign-up’ button at the top of the page from which you downloaded the software. Use the fields in the ‘Sign up’ box to provide your email address and a password, check the terms and conditions and privacy policy and, if you agree with them, click ‘I’m not a robot’ followed by ‘Sign up’. You’ll receive an activation code in an email sent to the address you provided – paste this into the Code box on the following screen, then click Activate.

On the next screen, log into your new Dwservice account by entering the email address and password you just specified, then click Agents. Click the ‘+’ at the top of the page and, in the Name box on the panel that opens, type a name for the computer on which you’re installing the software. You can choose any name, so pick something you’ll be able to identify easily later. Now click Confirm.

You’ll see that a new ‘agent’ has appeared on the dashboard, bearing a nine-digit code. Copy this code, then switch back to the Dwservice installer and paste or type it into the Code box (see screenshot below left). Click ‘Next’, and when the message ‘Installati­on has been completed’ appears, click Close. The program window will disappear, but the software will continue to run in the background, listening out for incoming connection­s from remote computers.
