Installing and Deploying the Software

If you are using a Concurrent or School-Managed licence, ensure that you have installed the TI-Admin software. For more information, see Installing the TI-Admin Software.

To install and deploy the TI software, follow these steps.

1. Download and save the settings.properties and deployment.properties files. For more information, see Obtaining Properties Files.
2. Using a non formatting text editor such as Notepad on Windows® and TextEdit on a Mac®, open the properties files.
3. Using the option descriptions and values provided in the properties files, specify the values that apply for your installation.

Note: If you are using a Concurrent or School-Managed licence, the settings.properties file needs to contain a value in the licence.server option at minimum to ensure that the computers running TI software are configured to access the licence service.

For additional information, see Appendix B: Properties File Options.

4. Save each properties file.
5. Deploy the software using the platform or process of your choice, or you can run the installer and follow the prompts in the wizard.

Note: The properties files should be located in the same folder as the TI installer (.exe, .msi, or .pkg) file.

If a deployment.properties file containing a value for licence.number is deployed with the TI installer, the installer automatically attempts to silently activate the licence. This process can take up to 10 minutes, and requires an Internet access on the client machine at the time of deployment.
