Click on Activate your account.
Enter the License Key and Identifier you received via email or copied during the sign-up.
Choose one of the following:
Local System Account – if you install the AimBetter Agent on the Windows server you want to monitor. If you’re going to monitor a Linux or cloud server, you can also select this option.
This Account – in case you are installing the AimBetter Agent in a different server than the Windows server you intend to monitor (the Agent Server and the Monitored Server are not the same). In this case, use the credentials of a domain user with Administrator privileges or with Windows OS minimal permissions (check how to create a Windows OS user with minimal required permissions). For a non-domain network, make sure that the user has a local Windows OS user in both Agent and Monitored servers with the same username and password.
You can choose Local System Account and change it later to This account by clicking on the settings icon in the AimBetter Configuration.
*After any change, restart the AimBetter Agent service.
