Deploy HyperSnap with a license and optional default configuration.

Recommended deployment workflow

1. Prepare one licensed copy

   Install HyperSnap first on one administrator or reference computer. Start HyperSnap and enter the license key received by email after purchase.

   Then open the Help ribbon tab, click License, and choose Backup this License. Select a staging folder and save the generated file named HprSnap.hslic.

2. Optional: save default settings

   If you want users to start with pre-selected HyperSnap options, configure the reference copy the way you want it.

   Open the Setup ribbon tab and click Save CFG. Select the same staging folder used for the license backup. HyperSnap will save a file named HprSnap.ini.

3. Place files together

   Download the latest HyperSnap installer and place it in a shared network folder. For HyperSnap 10, the installer file is named HS10Setup.exe.

   Put HS10Setup.exe, HprSnap.hslic, and optionally HprSnap.ini in the same folder.

4. Run the installer

   To install HyperSnap on an end user's computer, run the installer from that shared folder.

   For silent installation, run:

   HS10Setup.exe -s

5. Protect the license file

   Store and distribute HprSnap.hslic only according to the number of seats and license terms purchased for your organization.

Alternative custom packaging

If you prefer not to run the standard HyperSnap installer, HS10Setup.exe is a self-extracting RAR archive. You may extract its contents with archive software that supports RAR files and build your own deployment script.

1. Files to deploy

   Your custom installer or script should copy the extracted HyperSnap program files to the target computers, along with HprSnap.hslic and, if used, HprSnap.ini.

   It should also create the desired shortcuts under the Windows Programs menu and/or on the users' desktops.

2. Installer helper

   The extracted archive contains a small program named setup.exe. In the standard installer flow, the self-extractor runs this helper after extraction.

   The helper copies files, creates shortcuts and install records, and is renamed to HprUnInst.exe so Windows can use it as the HyperSnap uninstaller and cleanup program.
