  3. Choose Setup Type (this option is available since the 2012 R6 release) - the TeamPulse installer provides two options for installation:

    A) Express - choose it for a quick and easy installation. This setup type do not require providing any information from the user.
    (The Express setup type will use the LocalSystem account to run the TeamPulse application and will connect to your SQL Server via the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM user. (If you prefer TeamPulse to use some other credentials - you can choose the Custom setup type and set the preferred settings)
    If you do not have SQL Server installed on your machine (or your user do not have sufficient permissions for it) - the installer will automatically download and install a new SQL Server instance and create the TeamPulse database on it. If in addition to the previous you do not have internet access - the installer will not be able to provide you with the Express seup type and therefore the Choose Setup Type step will be skipped and the installer will proceed directly with the Custom setup type.

    B) Custom - choose it if you want to customize the settings used by the installer.

The standard and trial editions of TeamPulse are the same from an installation perspective.  Upon activation you will choose whether you are activating a trial license or a standard license.  After a successful activation of your license, TeamPulse will either be the standard edition or the trial edition according to the license details.

 

After installation you will have a 5 days period in which you can quickly start using TeamPulse without activating any license. After that TeamPulse must be activated with a standard or trial license in order to be used. For more information, please refer to the License Management page.

 

Users must be authorized via the user management site before they can access and useTeamPulse. For more information, please see User Management on how to authorize users in a TeamPulse instance.
