[Installing and Using This Release]

  • Run Proton-Setup.exe to install the server components of Proton. Once you have a functioning server, then you may install the Browsium Client using Browsium-ClientSetup.exe, which utilizes the address of your Proton server.

  • To access Proton Manager, choose (or search for) Proton Manager from the Start menu of the system running Proton Server. This will provide a special link to the Manager, with your server URL embedded, to automatically populate the server URL in the login screen.

    • If you’re accessing Proton Manager for the first time, select Create Account to create your Proton Administrator account. The first account is auto-approved. Subsequent accounts will need to be approved via the Manager’s Users page.

  • Browsium Client extensions for Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox must be enabled before Proton activity data is recorded from each browser. See section 5 of the Proton Administration Guide for details on managing browser extensions in an enterprise deployment.

  • Proton is designed so that older clients can communicate with and send activity data to newer versions of Proton server. However, we recommend that you upgrade clients soon after upgrading the server to provide comprehensive collection of new inventory and activity data elements.

    • Browsium Client 4.9 can be installed as a direct upgrade to Browsium Client 4.x, or Proton Client 1.x, and will automatically inherit the Proton Server URL value from the prior client installation.

    • Proton Server 4.9 can be installed as a direct upgrade to Proton Server 4.x or 1.x. Both the Server and Database must be upgraded, so check both the Server and Database boxes during setup. If these are running on separate server systems, only check the box for the component running on that system.

  • Read the Proton Administration Guide for more information on installing and using Browsium Proton.
