QuickStart Guide

What is the purpose of this information?

To provide the basic steps for any user wanting to use a Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) product, who only needs minimum explanation to complete the registration and installation process from start to finish. 

* Please Note: This does not include alerting, users and groups, and license check-in/check-out.  The detailed process is outlined here for those that may need additional instructions or want to configure these options.

Step 1 - Registration (skip if already registered)

Determine your user level: 

• A single user who is the Fulfillment contact -  Your contract designates you as an Account Administrator with download rights. Therefore, you are already a Registered User and can proceed to step 2.
• A single user who is not the Fulfillment contact -  You can register yourself by using the Individual User Registration Process.
• An Account Administrator for your entire Organization - You can use the Admin Registration process to add all of your users.
• For all other users, please contact your Organizations Account Administrator.  

To find your Account Administrator, go to CONNECT Center and select ‘How are you CONNECTED?’

*Please Note: You must be a registered user to access the CONNECT Center.

Step 2 - Installation of the CONNECTION Client (skip if latest version is installed)

If it is not currently installed or you are running an older version, Download and install the latest CONNECTION Client.  If you do not have rights to download, please contact your Account Administrator.

Step 3 - Password creation (skip if you have a password)

If you do not have a password, create your password by using the ‘Forgot Your Password’ option in the CONNECTION Client.

Step 4 - Application installation (skip if the application is already installed)

Download and install the CONNECT Edition Application that uses Subscription Entitlement Service (SES). If you do not have rights to download, please contact your Account Administrator.

Step 5 - Open the application

Open/Start the CONNECT Edition SES application.

Step 6 - Sign in
