To install Tech Console on a Student computer
Note: If you have already deployed Insight Student to your clients, there is no need to install
anything else on the client machines. Tech Console and Insight use the same client software.
1. In My Computer, go to the Insight product download location and double-click Student.msi in
the Windows folder.
2. Click Next.
3. Read the license agreement that appears, then click I Accept, then Next.
4. Type in the channel number (1 to 16,000) that will manage that Student, click Next.
5. If you'd like to set any Advanced Options, check the box “Check to configure advanced
options”.
6. Set any advanced options.
7. Click Install.
The Advanced Options include the following choices which are covered in more detail in the
“Scripting and Mass Deploying Students via MSI” section below.
• Stealth mode-prevent the system tray icon from appearing on the student’s machine
• Change channel-allow the student to change the channel on demand
• No keyboard monitoring-Turns off keyboard monitoring on the student’s machine

To install Report Server on a Windows computer
1. In My Computer, go to the Tech Console product download location and double-click the
ReportServer.exe in the Windows folder.
2. Click Next.
3. Read the license agreement that appears, then click I Accept, then Next.
4. Click Install.
5. Click Finish to complete the installation.
A reboot will be required in order to properly start the necessary services.
As noted earlier in the section “Tech Console Network Configuration”, there are a number of open
ports required for use by the Report Server. The install program will check at the beginning of the
process to ensure that the necessary ports are available. If any are in use, you will receive a
message indicating what port is in use and the install will fail with that message.
