To set up ibaManagementStudio, you need a server with which the agents can communicate. For this purpose, install the software for the ibaManagementStudio server.

1. Execute the ibaManagementStudio_Server_Setup_v2.x.y.exe file, e.g., by double-clicking on the filename in Windows Explorer. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.

2. If necessary, select the language for the installation process.

3. Accept the license agreement.

4. Select the installation folder.

5. Select additional components for installation.

   This allows you to install ibaManagementStudio Agent together with the server.

6. Select the user account (optional).

   • Local system account (default):

     The local system account has administrator rights for the local computer.

   • This account:

     Select this option if you want to run the server with a special user account or Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).

     Further information on creating and using service accounts can be found in the "IT security guide". You can find the guide in the download area on the iba website or in the help center at https://docs.iba-ag.com.

7. Select whether ibaManagementStudio creates a desktop shortcut to the web client.

8. Start the installation process with <Install>.

9. Finish the installation with <Finish>.

Make sure that you have enabled or installed the corresponding WIBU license either as a CmStick (USB) or a CmActLicense (soft license) to ensure that the ibaManagementStudio server application functions correctly. A separate manual for management of WIBU CodeMeter licenses is available from iba. You can find this documentation in the download area on the iba website or in the help center at https://docs.iba-ag.com.

Afterwards, you can configure additional settings for the server in ibaManagementStudio Server Status, see ibaManagementStudio Status. You can then add the agents in the web client, see Adding a system.
