Review the Prerequisites

The following table shows the prerequisites that must be in place before you start:

Task

Notes

64-bit Microsoft Office Upgrade, if Required

LOCAL DISCOVERY does not support certain 32-bit versions of Office. Review the System Requirements: LOCAL DISCOVERY to determine if your version of office is supported. If it is not, uninstall it and install a 64-bit version instead.

Update Eclipse SE

If you are installing LOCAL DISCOVERY on a machine that has Eclipse SE installed on it, make sure the Eclipse SE version is 2018.0.0. If you have a previous version of Eclipse SE, upgrade to the latest version before installing.

Ensure Local Admin Rights are Set

In order to install LOCAL DISCOVERY, the user completing the installation must have local administrative privileges on the machine where the installation is taking place. If the user attempts to install without having local admin privileges, the installation will fail.

Address Local and Network Security

In addition to installing with elevated Administrator privileges, users need to temporarily disable all security or antivirus prior to beginning the installation process. Some environments may require complete uninstallation of security. Security can be reinstalled, reenabled, and configured after install. Failure to follow the above steps may force a complete uninstall and reinstall.

1. Log in to the Local Web Portal

When you purchase LOCAL DISCOVERY, you will be sent an email containing your user name and temporary password for your IPRO account.

  1. Click on the link in the email to access the LOCAL DISCOVERY Web Portal, or visit solutions.iprotech.com.
  2. Using the log in credentials supplied in the email, log in to the Web Portal.

    Before you can install LOCAL DISCOVERY on your local machine, you must first activate your IPRO account.

    Note: Activating your account is easy. You just log in, go to your account page, and accept the End User License Agreement. This process is explained below.

2. Activate Your Account

To activate your IPRO account:

  1. Log in to the LOCAL DISCOVERY Web Portal.

  2. The first time you log in to the Web Portal, the system will prompt you to read and sign the End User License Agreement. The End User License Agreement (EULA) wizard displays.

  3. Read the EULA and, when finished, click the Accept button.

  4. Update the password for your account and click Next.

  5. The final page of the wizard, confirms that your acceptance of the EULA has been recorded. Click the Finish button.

3. Download the Local Client

To download the LOCAL DISCOVERY client, follow the steps below:

Note: These steps assume that you have activated your IPRO account following the instructions in the 2. Activate Your Account section.

  1. Log in to the LOCAL DISCOVERY Web Portal. The My Account page displays.

  2. If this is the first time that you have logged in to the portal, system will walk you through the process of downloading the desktop installer. The Welcome message displays, click Next.

  3. A instruction box appears at the top right corner of the page, which provides instructions for how to download the application. Disable your pop-up blocker before you click the Download Clients button.

  4. Once your pop-up blocker is disabled, click the Download Clients button.

    The LOCAL DISCOVERY install package downloads to your local machine.

    Note: If the installation package does not automatically download, check your browser settings again. Make sure you have properly turned off the pop up blocker for the LOCAL DISCOVERY Web Portal URL.

If this is the first time you are downloading the install package, when the download begins, the following message displays.

Proceed to the next step, installing the LOCAL DISCOVERY client.

4. Install the Local Client

Minimum System Requirements are as follows:

  • OS - Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit

  • CPU - Quad-Core Processor

  • System RA - 8 GB

  • Disk space - 256 GB

  • Graphics card - 1 GB dedicated memory

You cannot install IPRO on a Oracle VM VirtualBox.

To install the LOCAL DISCOVERY client:

  1. After the LOCAL DISCOVERY installation package is finished downloading, locate the LOCAL DISCOVERY installation package and double click on the file.

    The LOCAL DISCOVERY Installation wizard displays.

  2. Click Next to continue.

    The Select Installation Folder page of the wizard displays. The default installation path is C:\Program Files\Ipro Tech\Desktop\. We recommend that you install LOCAL DISCOVERY to the default installation location. LOCAL DISCOVERY must be installed to a local (fixed disk) path. It cannot be installed to a network location.

    Note: If you want to install to a different local path, click the Browse button to browse to the folder where you want LOCAL DISCOVERY installed or enter a valid path in the Folder field.

  3. Click Next to continue. The Network Data Store Path Configuration page of the wizard displays.

    • If you do not have Eclipse SE installed:
      • Select the location where you would like the Network Data Store to be located. The Network Data Store is used to synchronize changes to cases in a multi-user environment. You must enter a network UNC path that is accessible by all case users.

        Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a UNC path, rather than a mapped drive, for the Network Data Store path. Mapped network drives may not be consistent across all workstations within a multi-user environment.

      • For single-user environments, enter a local directory path. If you are unsure what to enter in this field, contact your system administrator.
      • Click Next.
    • If you have Eclipse SE installed, the Network Data Store field is pre-populated with the location of your existing Network Data Store. This location is used for Data Sync enabled cases which are shared with other subscription users on your local network. The path shown in the Network Data Store field cannot be changed. Click Next.

       

  4. The Ready to Install page of the wizard displays. Click Install.

    The installation process begins. LOCAL DISCOVERY is installed in the location indicated on the Select Installation Folder page of the wizard.

  5. When the installation process is complete, the final page of the wizard displays. Click Finish to exit the wizard.

    You can launch the application two different ways:

    • By double-clicking on the LOCAL DISCOVERY desktop shortcut. There is also an icon on the desktop for Mobile Review and the Print Server.

    • By selecting the LOCAL DISCOVERY by IPRO Start menu program shortcut.
