CIMTechniques Service Suite — How to run
========================================
Thank you for downloading the CIMTechniques Service Suite. This software is not yet
digitally signed, so Windows may show a warning the first time you run it. It is safe
to run — here is how to get past the warning.
------------------------------------------------------------
If you downloaded the INSTALLER (…-Setup.exe)
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Double-click the file.
2. If you see a blue box: "Windows protected your PC", click the small
"More info" link, then click the "Run anyway" button that appears.
3. Follow the prompts. It installs just for you — no administrator password needed.
4. Launch it from the Start menu: "CIMTechniques Service Suite".
------------------------------------------------------------
If you downloaded the NO-INSTALL version (…-portable.zip)
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Right-click the .zip file and choose "Extract All…". Pick any folder you like
(your Desktop or Documents is fine — no administrator password needed).
2. Open the extracted folder and double-click "CIM-Service-Suite.exe".
3. If you see "Windows protected your PC", click "More info", then "Run anyway".
------------------------------------------------------------
If it still will not run
------------------------------------------------------------
Some company laptops are locked down to only allow signed software. If neither the
installer nor the no-install version will start, your IT department's security policy
is blocking it. Please contact CIMTechniques support and we will help.
Your settings and logs are stored under your user profile
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\CIMTechniques), not in the program folder, so the no-install version
keeps your data even if you move or delete the folder.
