Before you begin

  2. Check the system requirements.

About this task

To install and activate SOTI Snap Link on your computer, do the following:

Procedure

  1. In the SOTI Snap console, download the SOTI Snap Link installer to your computer. If you already downloaded the installer when you created the data export, you can skip this step. Otherwise, open the app you want to pull data from and in its Data Connections view, open the SOTI Snap Link data export and select Download.
    You can't mix and match the enrollment IDs from one SOTI Snap account with a SOTI Snap Link installer from another SOTI Snap account. They must be from the same account.

  3. In the SOTI Snap Link folder, run SnapLink.Installer.bat as an administrator.
    If you get a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning, select More info, then Run anyway to proceed.
  4. Follow the instructions of the SOTI Snap Link installation wizard.
    SOTI Snap Link is now installed on your computer.
Activate SOTI Snap Link
  1. Open the SOTI Snap Link console. By default, the installer adds a Desktop shortcut for SOTI Snap Link, but if you opted out, you can open it from the installation folder.

  2. Enter the enrollment ID of the SOTI Snap app whose data you want to capture and select Next.
