Install DocsPlus Universal for Windows

1. Run the downloaded file and click Install to start extraction. The installer should then start automatically (if not, run Setup.exe in the DocsPlus Installer folder).
   
   
2. Choose Install to computers on a network and click Install.
   
   
3. Provide your 20-character serial number.
   
   
4. Specify a location for your unique DocsPlus MSI package to be generated.
   
   
5. Specify the Home location (the default when opening / saving files in DocsPlus).
   If the clients have a cloud storage app installed, you can select it here. The locations used are:
   
   
   • OneDrive - %OneDrive%
     
     
   • Google Drive for Desktop - G:\
     
     
   • Dropbox - %UserProfile%\Dropbox\
   
   Alternatively, provide a UNC path to a non-hidden network share that your users have read / write access to.
   
   The Home location can be changed by the user after installation.
   
   
6. Each computer must activate a license before it can use DocsPlus.
   This usually happens automatically over the Internet during client installation.
   If your network has a proxy server, click Proxy Settings to supply the details.
   
   
7. When the network setup finishes, it will generate a unique MSI package at your chosen location. You can then do one of the following:
   
   
   • Deploy it to computers using Windows Group Policy or similar.
     
     
   • Install via command line, such as:
   msiexec /i "\\servername\sharename\DocsPlusUniversal-enXX.msi" /qn
   
   
   • On a computer, browse to the MSI share and run DocsPlusUniversal-enXX.msi manually.

1. Run the downloaded file and click Install to start unpacking it.
   
   
2. Close the DocsPlus Installer that auto-starts and extract "DocsPlusUniversal-enXX.msi" from the MSI subfolder.
   
   
3. In Intune, deploy the MSI as a Line-of-Business app.
   
   
4. Specify these parameters (where PIDKEY is your serial number and SHAREDFILES is where you’d like DocsPlus to save documents). Replace XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX with your serial number.
   
   /qn PIDKEY="XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX"
   SHAREDFILES="C:\Users\Public\Documents\DocsPlus"
   
   
5. If you would prefer to use cloud storage, replace SHAREDFILES with EXPLORER.
   
   Possible values for EXPLORER are “OneDrive”, “GoogleDrive” and “Dropbox”.

Follow the instructions above to generate a custom MSI package. Use the RM Package Builder to install it on a single client. This will generate a CC4 package, which you can then deploy to other clients.

If you deploy a system image containing DocsPlus, it will require activation on each computer:

1. Run the downloaded file and click Install to start extraction. The installer should then start automatically (if not, run Setup.exe in the DocsPlus Installer folder).
   
   
2. Choose Install to computers on a network and click Install.
   
   
3. Provide your 20-character serial number.
   
   
4. Specify a location for your unique DocsPlus MSI package to be generated.
   
   
5. Specify the Home location (the default when opening / saving files in DocsPlus).
   If the clients have a cloud storage app installed, you can select it here. The locations used are:
   
   
   • OneDrive - %OneDrive%
     
     
   • Google Drive for Desktop - G:\
     
     
   • Dropbox - %UserProfile%\Dropbox\
   
   Alternatively, provide a UNC path to a non-hidden network share that your users have read / write access to.
   
   The Home location can be changed by the user after installation.
   
   
6. Disable automatic activation.
   
   
7. After the MSI package is generated, install it to your system image.
   
   
8. Deploy your system image to computers.
   
   
9. Activate DocsPlus via command line.
   

Activation doesn’t require elevated privileges and is simple enough to be performed by a user if necessary (a prompt appears on launch).

A OneSchool Flexi subscription is required to use DocsPlus on a thin client / virtual desktop system.

If DocsPlus is used in a virtual environment without a Flexi subscription, activation will be unsuccessful.
