Downloading & Installing the Windows Application

Installing PremioGuard on a Windows computer.

What you need

A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 computer and one of your licence keys. The installer is a single file and does not require you to install anything else first.

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
  • Administrator rights, because the application installs a protection service.
  • One licence key for this specific computer.

Installing

Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. When it finishes, the application opens and asks for your licence key.

After installing

The application starts with Windows and keeps running in the background. You do not need to open it for protection to work. If you close the window it goes to the background rather than quitting — the protection is still active.

  • The computer will appear in your dashboard as online within a minute or two.
  • Your settings from the dashboard are applied automatically.
  • A restart is not required for changes you make later.
