When setting up WAY in your company, one of the steps necessary will be to install WAY software on each company device. This process requires manual input by you - we'll help you within this article to guide you through the steps.

  1. On the day of the software rollout, you will receive an email from WAY with the subject "[Action Required] Secure your company device". Inside this email, you will find your personal login credentials, which you will need in step 8.

  2. Click on this link, to open the download page for our software:
    Go To Download Page

  3. The link will open in your default browser. Click on the Download button on the newly opened page and wait for the download to finish.

  4. Once the download is finished, open the Hexnode_Installer by clicking on it.

  5. After a few seconds a User Account Control dialog might show up, asking you if you want to allow the Hexnode Installer Setup to make changes to your device. Allow these changes by clicking Yes.

  6. Now you will see the installation wizard. Start the installation by clicking Install.

  7. The Installer will prompt you to install any required dependency packages if they are missing on your device. Follow the on-screen instructions and complete the dependency installations. You will then be presented with the End User License Agreement (EULA). Scroll to the bottom of the agreement and click on Agree and Enroll.

  8. Next up, you need to authenticate by providing your email address and your enrollment password that you received in our email. After you entered both, click on Authenticate.

  9. If the authentication was successful, another User Account Control dialog might appear twice. Both times, you will have to enter your Windows PC's password (the one you use to log in after starting your PC) and click on Yes.

  10. Now the installation wizard will perform all necessary steps. After it is done, you will see the following message:

    You can close this window by clicking on Done.

    And this window by clicking on Finish.

All done now! - If you have questions or problems during this process, just reach out through your Slack or Microsoft Teams space or click on the bubble in the bottom-right.
