1. Software Registration
You will need to register for an activation key before you start using Deployment Studio Express. You will be prompted to register the software the first time you run the software. Note: The machine running the Client Management Console needs to have internet access.

1.Go to Start/Programs/Deployment Studio Express/Management Console to start the application.


2. Enter your email address in the registration dialog and click the Register button. The software will automatically generate an activation key for you and register both the Agent Service and Management Console running on the machine from which you are running the application.

3. If you choose to skip the registration process, you can access the registration dialog from within the application under the Help/Register menu.


2. Remote Agent Activation
You can remotely register the Agents Services running on your network using the Management Console. Note: The machine running the Client Management Console needs to have internet access.

1.Go to Start/Programs/Deployment Studio Express/Management Console to start the application.

2. Go to the Tools/Activate Agent menu.


3. Enter the name or IP address of the machine on which the Agent Service is running on and click the Activate button.


3. TCP Port Configuration
By default, the Management Console communicates with the Agent Service on TCP port 8080. The default port can be changed by editing the application configuration settings for both the Client Management Console and the Agent Service.

Client Management Console TCP Port Configuration
1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Laneware\Deployment Studio Express\ and open the DSEConsole.exe.config file with notepad.


2. Change the value of the agentTCPPort key to a valid TCP port number and save the file.


Agent Service TCP Port Configuration:
1. Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Service.

2. Locate the Deployment Studio Express Agent service in the menu.


3.  Right click on the service and click Stop.

4. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Laneware\Deployment Studio Express\ and open the DSEAgent.exe.config file with notepad. 

5. In the sytem.serviceModel section, locate the endpoint address defined for the localhost.


6.  Change the value of the TCP port defined in the URL (i.e. 8080) to a valid TCP port number and save the file.

7. Go back into Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Service and start the Deployment Studio Express Agent service.


4. Maximum Deployment Runtime
By default, deployment processes taking more than 120 seconds to execute on the Agent will automatically be terminated to prevent the service from consuming server resources. This setting can easily be modified to meet you needs.

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Laneware\Deployment Studio Express\ and open the DSEConsole.exe.config file with notepad.


2. Change the value of the maxAgentRuntime key to a valid integer and save the file.
