Quickstart
1. Create the site
Section titled “1. Create the site”An operator provisions the customer site. This mints two credentials and shows each once:
- an enrollment token (
cen_…) — short-lived, limited-use, for installing agents - a status token (
cst_…) — read-only, for the customer’s status page and weekly report
2. Enroll workstations
Section titled “2. Enroll workstations”Run the install command on each machine that uses QuickBooks — including the machine that hosts the company file. The installer carries only the enrollment token; the agent exchanges it on first contact for its own per-device credential.
That matters: a leaked installer burns one device, not the whole site, and any single machine can be revoked on its own.
3. Set the update policy
Section titled “3. Set the update policy”Choose per organisation:
observe— report the build, change nothing.lock— hold the org on a pinned release and alert on drift. Recommended for accounting environments, where a surprise change mid-close is worse than being one build behind.
4. Watch
Section titled “4. Watch”- Console — every site and endpoint, health at a glance, drill into any machine.
- Status page — a read-only view for the customer.
- Weekly report — a branded digest, emailed.
What you should see in week one
Section titled “What you should see in week one”Real environments almost always surface something on the first pass — a workstation stuck at 100 Mbps, a fleet spread across several maintenance builds, or a default printer that will eventually take QuickBooks down. That first report is usually the one that pays for the tool.
