Single place installation (personal and standard edition for private user)

 

In doing so Password Safe will be installed locally on a computer. Password Safe will be saved to the program directory of Windows by default. According to desires the installation place can also be adjusted. The configuration file "psr.pc7" will be automatically stored in the application data directory.

 

At the first start of the software you can decide which editions you want to test. If you should have already bought a license, please choose the edition which you have bought. You can enter the license at the release assistant.

Multi user installation (Professional and Enterprise edition for companies)

 

Password Safe can be installed locally on the work stations, and can also be rolled out. If desired an MSI installer is also available for a packaging.

 

At the local installation it has to be considered how the client reads in the license and how it can access the network logon profile file, if licensed.

 

License file:

There are several possibilities how the client can access the license file. We suggest to deposit the license file as centrally as possible via network share, so all clients can benefit from possible license changes (e.g.: renewal of the software maintenance). By means of a environment variable the client knows, where the license file has been stored and can load and use it from there. Alternatively the license file can also be rolled out. At this it has to be considered that the license file should not be stored in the "program" directory from Windows Vista on, because that directory is mostly write-protected. We suggest, if the license file should be rolled out, to store it in "own documents", "documents" or application data directory.

 

Network logon profile file (if licensed and available):

The network logon profile file can for example be made known to the client via environment variable. By means of that profile the databases will be automatically configured at the client. If the license file "psrX.lic" is stored in the network share, it has to be made sure that all users who use Password Safe, have write access to the license file.
