Help on Enterprise installation of ARIS Express

Hi Carsten,

we will contact you by email about a possible enterprise deployment of ARIS Express.

Hi Sebastian;

Could you please share your reply to Carsten Wolff regarding a possible enterprise deployment of ARIS Express.

best regards Jens

Hi Jens,

unfortunately, I can't share it, at least not now. But I can also contact you by email ;-)

Hi Sebastian,

Could you take me into the loop? I also provided some feedback and remarks via Rob Davis on the use of ARIS Express within a company.

Thanks in advance

Hi Support/Community,

Hi Sebastian,

We would like to use ARIS Express in our University, too. It should be installed on 80 PCs and the users do not have sufficient rights to download the software. So we have the same questions as Carsten Wolff, could you please contact me by mail, too.?

Best regards,

Björn

 

Sebastian,

I also need this info for a customer. They want to install throughout the enterprise, but not under the user account.

Thanks,

Anastasia

Hi Sebastian,

as with others on this post, I would also like to be able to deploy Aris Express to many machines across our user base.  I would also like to change the default location for user directory if possible.



Thanks

Colin

Folks, just to prevent some misunderstandings: There is no enterprise version of ARIS Express. Every user of ARIS Express still needs to register his personal copy using his ARIS Community account. Sharing accounts is not allowed by the license.

If you want to change the install directory, you have to change the Java Cache Path in your system settings. Anything else is currently not possible.

Hi! Regarding ARIS Express and deployment. Is it possible to distribute the application in any other way to many client computers?

As someone stated above - the users dont have any administrator rights on their clients. It would be really useful to distribute the installation as a silent install for all users, and of course they need to register their own personal account at first start.

Any tips about deplyment and distribution about ARIS Express is very helpful. Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

if your users don't have admin rights, the best way to move forward is to ask your IT to install the app for them. This can be done automatically with a deployment system. On first startup, every user will still need to register his copy by creating an ARIS Community account. Using one account to register all copies is not allowed by the license.

Many thanks for your reply and your suggestions! Very helpful. I was trying to make a suitable package of the installation (a capture), but for every new user that logs into the computer, the Aris Express states something like "The program is not available offline", and then starts to download a new set of files. 

My guess is that the Java temp path is different for every user (default setting is a temporary folder in the user profile path). I tried redirecting the path into something like C:\ARISEXPRESS\ and the distribute this folder. But the same occurs. 

Is there any documentation about your recomendations about creating a package or a distributable installation?

Many thanks again!

Hi Daniel,

ARIS Express must be installed for every user. It is not like an ordinary program which you can put under program files. As you mention yourself, the java cache path is distinct for each user. A deployment package must copy the setup file to the PC and run it for each user it should be installed.

Unfortunately, we currently don't have good documentation on that issue. But we are working on an improved setup, which will simplify deployment in enterprises. We plan to release this in the coming months (maybe weeks). This release will come along with a documentation.

Thanks for the fast reply Dr. Sebastian!

Then I know what my options are anyway. 

Have a nice day!

Has there been any progress on creating an enteprise version of Aris Express for deployment across a University campus?

2013 - Any current updates?

Thank you.

Hallo, can you please guide me also through the possibilities to deploy multiple instances of aris express?

We use VMware virtualization. Do we really need to activate manually all domain users within educational class? These are linked clone machines, meaning, if I refresh the golden image, I must re-register all the clone machines every time to run aris express?
