TABLE OF CONTENTS


Installation Prerequisites

  • You must install FireDaemon Pro while logged in as a local or domain administrator.
  • You will only be allowed to install the software on 64-bit systems. However, you can still run 32-bit programs under FireDaemon Pro control on 64-bit systems.
  • Please ensure you have applied all Windows Updates - literally everything - no exceptions.
  • During installation, you may need to confirm User Account Control (UAC) prompts to allow the installer to elevate and run.
  • If an earlier version of FireDaemon Pro 4 or 5 is already installed and if FireDaemon Pro services are currently running, the installer will stop all services before starting the installation. It will start the services again once the installation has been completed. The only exception is if you have FireDaemon Pro 3 installed. You will need to manually migrate these services.
  • If an earlier version of FireDaemon Pro 4, 5, or 6 is already installed the installer will upgrade your installation to the latest version of FireDaemon Pro 6.

Installing FireDaemon Pro with the Executable File

Note: You must not install FireDaemon Pro on a network drive.

Double-click the downloaded installer executable file.


Click Yes to allow the installer to run.


The Install Wizard begins with the welcome screen.



Click Next.



This step only appears if you already have a version of the software installed. If you do not encounter this screen, proceed to the next screen.


FireDaemon Pro 6 requires a license key after the 30-day trial period has expired. Even if you have a license to a previous software version, you must purchase a new license for version 6. If you do not have one, you can cancel the upgrade or use FireDaemon Pro in 30-day trial mode. Alternatively, if you have a license, select to enter a purchased one. The Next button will only be enabled if one of the bottom two options is chosen. The installation will stop if you decide to cancel the upgrade.


Once you have made your selection, click Next.



If required, click Back to ensure you selected the required options.


Click Install to begin the installation.



The installation process begins and could take a few minutes. The status will update you on the installation’s progress. After the installation has finished, the Wizard Completed page is displayed.



By default, FireDaemon Pro will launch when the wizard is completed. If you prefer it not to open now, uncheck the Launch FireDaemon Pro checkbox.


Click Finish to close the Installation Wizard.


Installing with WinGet

Instead of downloading and installing the Windows Installer, you can use the Microsoft package manager called winget. WinGet is built into Windows 10 and 11 or can be installed manually. 

Note: If you have never used WinGet before, you may need to read the Microsoft Store Terms of Transactions before being able to perform the search.

To install FireDaemon Pro, open a command prompt on your computer and use the following commands as needed.

:: Search for FireDaemon Pro
winget search FireDaemon.FireDaemonPro
:: Show the FireDaemon Pro package contents
winget show FireDaemon.FireDaemonPro
:: Install FireDaemon Pro interactively
winget install FireDaemon.FireDaemonPro --interactive
:: Install FireDaemon Pro silently (default)
winget install FireDaemon.FireDaemonPro --silent
:: Show installed packages
winget list FireDaemon
