Installing the MacOS agent


In macOS

  1. Ensure that the machine is connected to the Internet.
  2. Double-click the installation file (.dmg).
  3. Wait while the operating system mounts the installation disk image.
  4. Double-click Install.
  5. If a proxy server is enabled in your network, click Protection Agent in the menu bar, click Proxy server settings, and then specify the proxy server host name/IP address, port, and credentials.
  6. If prompted, provide administrator credentials.
  7. Click Continue.
  8. Wait until the registration screen appears.
  9. Do one of the following:
    • Click Register the machine. In the opened browser window, sign in to the service console, review the registration details, and then click Confirm registration.
    • Click Show registration info. The setup program shows the registration link and the registration code. You can copy them and perform the registration steps on a different machine. In this case, you will need to enter the registration code in the registration form. The registration code is valid for one hour.

    Alternatively, you can access the registration form by clicking All devices > Add, scrolling down to Registration via code, and then clicking Register.

    Tip  Do not quit the setup program until you confirm the registration. To initiate the registration again, you will have to restart the setup program and repeat the installation procedure.

    As a result, the machine will be assigned to the account that was used to log in to the service console.
