Application setup

The content of this section assumes that:

• You have met the pre-requisites.
• You have installed Launcher
• You have a license key.

If you do not have a license key, please get in touch with us at launcher@displaynote.com or visit trylauncher.displaynote.com/trial-form to get your trial key.

In this section, we'll go through the application setup from start to finish. Here's what we'll cover:

A. Using and registering your licence

B. Setting up your room calendar

C. Adding room details

D. Display controller

E. Setting your PIN

A. License and registration

The first step for all new installations of Launcher is to activate your license key and register your details against the license.

License keys are tied to the local user account on the system, meaning that a license key is only valid for one user per system.

Follow these simple steps to activate your license and register your details:

1. Run Launcher.

2. Enter your 18-digit license key in the input field and press Activate.

3. When your license key has activated successfully, complete the registration form and ensure you have read and accepted Displaynote's Terms of Use & Privacy Policy. Then, press Register.

4. When your registration is successful, press Set up your device to continue with the application set up.

B. Room calendar

Launcher offers two calendar services: Exchange calendar and Google Calendar. Each of these services offers two set up methods, as follows:

• Exchange Calendar: Exchange Online; Exchange Server (on-premises)
• Google Calendar: Google account; Google API credentials

We've covered these in separate articles:

• Exchange room calendar set up
• Google Calendar set up

C. Room details

Room details are requested during the application setup. These are used for identification purposes, for your own benefit, and that of your users.

Room name

The room name is shown on the Launcher home screen. While it is a useful way for users to confirm they are in the right meeting space, it is primarily used by the mobile application as a means of identifying the correct device while scanning for nearby Launcher installations.

Room location

The room location is an optional piece of information to help identify the geographical location of the Launcher device.

To complete this step of the setup, simply type your desired room name and location (optional) and press Next.

D. Display controller (for meeting room console only)

This step will only appear when several displays are connected to the Windows system. For Launcher, this means a meeting room console. Please see the meeting room console requirements to ensure your configuration is set up appropriately.

If you are viewing this step:

1. Choose a new controller by selecting a screen from the list and pressing Apply. You will be prompted to restart your device to apply the new settings.
2. When your device has restarted, you will have the desired configuration for your meeting room console.

E. Settings PIN

Adding a PIN to Launcher is a required step. The settings PIN limits access to Launcher application settings, protecting the device configuration from those without the sufficient level of access.

To complete this step of the setup, simply type your desired PIN using digits from 0 to 9 and press Set PIN to continue.

F. Setup complete

The Launcher application set up is now complete. Next, you may wish to add app and web shortcuts or even change the appearance of the home screen. All supplied information along with further configurations is available in the settings, which you can access at any time via the Launcher home screen.
