DataSight Deployment

DataSight Deployment

The following are generic instructions for the installation and registration of DataSight components.  Please refer to articles on installation of each component for more specific details.

Download DataSight component files

Upon purchase of DataSight, you will receive license codes and links to download the DataSight Suite installation files in a deployment email.  This email will be sent to the nominated person of contact in your organisation. The components that will be supplied are DataSight client files, for installation on the end-user(s) computer(s), DataSight Administrator and DataSight Service Manager.  Before installing and registering, the files must be downloaded to the appropriate computer(s) or server(s) on which they will be licensed. The license codes should be ready for reference when required at the authentication stage.

Install DataSight components

Launch the DataSight component installer by double clicking on the downloaded .exe DataSight component file and the installation wizard will guide you through the installation process.

  1. The installation wizard will ask you to specify which directory each program you select should be installed to. The default location for the installation of DataSight and DataSight Administrator components is C:\Program Files (x86)\Seveno\... 
    By default the Service Manager is installed to C:\Seveno\DataSight Service Manager\...

  2. The installation wizard also requests the location of the DataSight component on the Startup Menu and whether you require a desktop icon.

Register your License

The license codes supplied in the deployment email will be required to license and authenticate your DataSight installation. Authentication is the process of verifying the DataSight license key, and licensing it to run on your specific computer. Authentication cannot occur if the license key is invalid, or if the computer is disconnected from the Internet. Offline authentication is possible via email, but will take time.

In order to install and register DataSight components, you must have Administrator Rights on the local computer.

To install a DataSight license key:

  1. Launch the DataSight component. 
  2. Select your License type – Concurrent User or Standard User.
  3. If you have a license key, click Install License
  4. Type or paste in your DataSight component License Key and click Install. DataSight will then authenticate the license key. This may take some time depending on your internet speed, during which the status flashes "authenticating".
  5. If DataSight is unable to connect then you will be given the choice of saving the license to a file to allow manual authentication. The license status will be updated if authentication is successful. 
Note Please note that for DataSight Service Manager, the license installation prompt will appear once you START the service.
