Requirements for the Installation of the AimBetter Agent

In order to start using the AimBetter platform, you need to install the AimBetter Agent on at least one server in your company’s domain or computer farm with Windows OS. Check the complete installation guide here.

The server in which the AimBetter Agent is installed will be denominated the Agent Server.

The monitoring can then be configured for this server or for any other computer in the same domain or computer farm. This server will be denominated a Monitored Server.

Multiple servers can be configured to be monitored, and the number depends on your license contract. For further information about license options, please get in touch with us at [email protected].
