About Evaluation Licensing

If you are installing WDM Enterprise Edition for evaluation, you must use an Enterprise Evaluation License Key to install and use WDM for 30 days. To continue using WDM beyond 30 days without interruption, be sure to purchase and activate a WDM Enterprise Sales Key (as described in Administrators Guide: Wyse Device ManagerTM) before your 30 day evaluation period ends (after 30 days of evaluation, you cannot use WDM until you purchase and activate a WDM Enterprise Sales Key).

Installing or Upgrading Procedures (WDM Enterprise Edition)

The WDM Enterprise Edition installation wizard automatically detects whether a new installation or an upgrade installation from WDM 4.8.0 or 4.8.5 is needed, and guides you through the process (if you plan to install or upgrade WDM components on multiple machines using a Custom installation, you will repeat some of the installation procedures in this guide according to your environment design).

Use the following guidelines:

1.Download and extract the WDM Workgroup Edition files to a folder on the machine(s) to which you will install WDM (for upgrades, these are the machine(s) on which you are currently running WDM Enterprise Edition version 4.8.0 or 4.8.5 components).

Tip

The WDM Workgroup Edition files will automatically expand to a WDM

Enterprise Edition installation/upgrade when you apply your WDM Enterprise

Sales Key or Enterprise Evaluation License Key when prompted.
