Installing the DriveLock Server components

The installation wizard helps you to install the DES. Proceed as follows:

  1. Execute the DLSetup.exe file via the ISO image.

  2. Select your language and accept the DriveLock EULA.

  3. Select the following components:

    • DriveLock Management Console (DMC), if you want to use it

      We recommend that you also install the DMC on the server. However, you can also install these separately on individual client computers if, for example, different employees are to work with the management components on these computers.

    • Enterprise Service

      Optionally, you can also install a Microsoft MS SQL Express Server as a database server.

      From 200 devices (enterprise environment), a fully-fledged SQL server is recommended.

      DriveLock supports Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Express as database systems. The exact specifications can be found in the current release notes on DriveLock Online Help.

  4. The selected components are displayed in the next dialog.

    The following options are available:

    • The Do not download updated files- use locally stored files only option allows you to install the versions stored in the current directory.

    • If you do not want to install the previously selected components immediately but only download them over the Internet, you can select the Download files only - do not install option.

  5. Now click Next to start the download or installation. In the last dialog you get a listing of the successfully installed components. In the last dialog, you will see a list of the successfully installed components.

  6. Next, the wizard which helps you install the DriveLock Enterprise Service appears. It is only available in English.
