Using EasySMF > Installation

1.Download the setup file "EasySMFSetup.exe" from the website.

Setup Options

-keyurl <license-key-update-url>

e.g.

EasySMFSetup.exe -keyurl http://192.168.1.2/key.txt

If the URL is set, EasySMF will retrieve its license key via HTTP. It will also check this URL for a new key when the current key expires. This allows you to centralize the administration of the license key.

3.Follow the prompts in the installation dialog to complete the installation.

4..NET Framework 4.8 is required to run EasySMF. If it is not installed you will be prompted to install it when EasySMF starts. .NET Framework 4.8 is included in Windows 11 and Windows 10 2022 update, so it is likely to already be installed.

5.The first time you run EasySMF you will be prompted to choose a location to store SMF data (the SMF data repository).
You can create additional repositories later if you have different types of data that you want to keep separate.
