Important: To install ISL AlwaysOn, administrative privileges are required!
Important: In an environment where a Web Proxy is used, ISL Light and ISL AlwaysOn use Internet Explorer connection settings. Since ISL AlwaysOn and ISL Light (with restart and resume enabled) run under the system account, they use Internet Explorer settings for the system account. It might happen that Internet Explorer settings have not been set for the system account.

Click the "Next" button.

Set up an Access Password and click the "Grant Access" button. The computer is now accessible via ISL AlwaysOn.

Note: As an important part of security, you need to set a strong access password. You will need to provide the access password each time you try to access the remote computer. The access password can be changed in the Computer Access Configurations, however, all users that have access to the remote computer must be notified of the change, otherwise, they will not be able to access the computer anymore after the change.
Note: If you have already installed ISL AlwaysOn on the current machine and are just adding a new user - click on the Grant Access button.
