This page provides information about the installation process of Chaos Vantage and how to start it.
Installing Chaos Vantage
The Chaos Vantage installer automatically removes any previous installations. This allows seamless upgrade from previous versions. If you experience problems you can manually uninstall the previous versions to perform a clean install.
Before running the installation, make sure your Windows account has administrative privileges.
Run the installer.
1. Upon the start of the installation, Windows may ask you for permission to run the installer with administrator privileges. Please confirm.
2. You are presented with the Chaos Vantage licensing agreement. Please take a moment to review the agreement. Check the I accept the Agreement checkbox and click Install to proceed with standard installation.
If you need to customize your Chaos Vantage installation, press the Advanced button.
The Install option enables Telemetry by default, uses the localhost for licensing and installs the software in a default directory.
3. If you are installing a Chaos product for the first time and chose to use the license server locally, here the Chaos License server installation option is presented.
At this step you can choose the license server directory.
The Migrate data during installation option transfers all of your settings made with older versions of the License Server, such as enabled dongle subsystem, proxy settings, etc. Disabling this option will install License Server with all settings at their defaults and any custom settings from the previous installation will be lost.
Add firewall exception option allows the default licensing port (TCP 30304) in the firewall. If you disable it at this step, you will need to manually add firewall exceptions later.
4. If the installation is successful, you will get this screen. Press the Done button.
Start Chaos Vantage
Once installed, you can start Chaos Vantage from the Start menu > Chaos Vantage > Start Chaos Vantage or search it directly in the Start menu.
You can also start it from its installation directory. The default directory is C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\Vantage where you can find and execute the vantage.exe file.
