(Optional) Update Installer ID

Follow the instructions below to update the value for the Installer ID parameter in the existing installation registry. This step is mandatory to use the Sanas app with Auto-activation mode.

ℹ️ Importan: In additon to updating the Installer ID, you’ll also need to update the app activation mode to Auto Activation.

What is an Installer ID, and why is it needed?

An Installer ID is a unique workspace identifier that helps Sanas to identify the Workspace and pre-configure the Sanas application before the user starts using it. Updating the Installer ID becomes essential when you wish to set up the credential-less app activation mode called Auto activation for users.

To get your Installer ID:

  1. Navigate to the Download app page on the Sanas Portal, and ensure you’ve selected your desired Workspace.

  2. Copy the Installer ID and save it securely.

Updating the Installer for the already installed Sanas app

ℹ️ Important: The parameters mentioned in the command below are case-sensitive; ensure you copy them correctly.

  1. Launch the Windows CLI as an administrator on your computer.

  2. Run the command below to update the Installer ID for the already installed Sanas app.

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sanas.ai\Sanas" /v InstallerID /t REG_SZ /d "<Installer Id>" /f

    Example: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sanas.ai\Sanas" /v InstallerID /t REG_SZ /d "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f

  3. Verify the update by navigating to the installation registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Sanas.ai/Sanas), and ensure the value of the Installer ID parameter is present.

  4. Close the current Sanas app session if it is already running, and then re-launch it. The app should activate now with Auto-activation.
