Deploying Browsium Client

To get the most out of Catalyst, you’ll want to install Browsium Client on every licensed PC in your enterprise. This is easy to do using Browsium-ClientSetup.exe and some careful planning.

Catalyst seat licenses are required for each PC so check your Browsium license agreement before deploying.

It is assumed that the reader of this guide is familiar with enterprise deployment of client software and has available tools to perform a scaled deployment. Section 2.6 of this guide details the command line switches available when installing Browsium Client in an enterprise environment. These options range from silent installation with no installation user interface visible to end users to pre-configuring the BCMS location in the client registry.

Installing Browsium Client

To deploy Browsium-ClientSetup.exe simply with a Catalyst license key, there are two simple steps:

1. Retrieve a copy of Browsium-ClientSetup.exe from the Browsium Catalyst zip file you received from Browsium.

2. Ensure you have the location of your Browsium Client Management Server (BCMS) to ensure Catalyst clients properly authorize for use. If Catalyst clients are unable to connect to the BCMS, they will fail to operate after 30 days.

To learn more about the Browsium Client Management Server and how Browsium Clients connect to it, please review the BCMS Administration Guide

The following example will install Browsium-ClientSetup.exe with the BCMS location in Quiet Mode with No User Interface. Launch the Command Prompt as Administrator, enter the path to Browsium-ClientSetup.exe (located in C:\Browsium for this example), add the /qn switch, and substitute your BCMS location for the hash marks (#).

More information on deploying Browsium Client to ensure the browser extensions are enabled by default can be found in section 5.2.
