Configuring the Lasernet Connector is the recommended second step in the setup process.  


You will need access to a virtual machine (VM) or a server. It's recommended to use Windows 2016 or 2019 as the operating system.


You will also need to be a local admin or global admin on the server to install the Lasernet Suite.

  2. Download the Lasernet Suite to your server via kb.lasernet.formpipe.com

  3. Once downloaded, double click on the Lasernet .exe installer.

  4. Install the Lasernet Server with the following option:
    1. If .NET 4.8 is not already installed on your VM/server, let the installation complete and restart the server.
    2. Choose Complete Install as the preferred option during the installation wizard.

      ***Use Custom Install if you need to install the application on a different drive than C:\, or if you need to split the Lasernet Suite between multiple machines***
       
  5. Once the installation is complete, the browser will automatically open the Admin Portal. If it does not, browse to http://localhost:3479
