Download and Install RMM Agent for Windows
Generate New Installation Package
First, make sure you have the latest RMM Agent version available for installation. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Open the Management Console.
- Select Downloads.
- Open the RMM tab.
- Find the RMM Agent version that suits your operating system (Windows). In case there is no generated installation package, click the Generate button after the product version you are going to install. Wait while the package will be generated for you. By default, the public package is suggested to be installed. You can see the newest version of the product and can make it public by the Make Public button. As soon as the newest version becomes public, it will be available for all users. In case you already have generated installation packages and the Enable Sandbox option for the download panel is enabled, you can add the newest version to your sandbox to test it before making it public. To add the newest version to sandbox, click the Make Sandbox button.
Note that if a target computer has the Backup Agent installed, you can install the RMM Agent straight from the Management Console. To do this, click Install in the RMM column on the Remote Management page
