Installing the agent
Note
Always work in Run as administrator mode when installing, uninstalling or upgrading the agent.
To install the SafeNet Agent for Epic, perform the following steps:
-
Double-click and execute the installer (EXE). Use MSI for Group Policy Object (GPO) installation.
Note
If a user has logged into the system as an administrator or if the user(s) is a member of the Domain Admin group, the installation process will execute successfully. Otherwise, a window will prompt to provide the administrator credentials.
The installer will verify if the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 is installed on the system, or not. If it is not, the Install Shield Wizard screen will appear, which will guide the user to install the required framework.

Note
If the required .NET Framework (4.6) is not available during the GPO installation, the installation process will execute successfully, without any interruptions. In such a case, only when the Epic Management Console is opened, an error stating the unavailability of .NET Framework is encountered. To proceed, install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.
