This guide is also applicable to the limited trial version. The minimum system requirements for the computer being monitored is listed below:

Windows 95 / 98 / 98SE / ME / XP / 2000 / 2003 / NT / Vista

Basic Setup and Usage
If you are an advanced user, then this section might be enough documentation for you. Each section further describes a different aspect of the WatchLive Pro setup and usage process.

After ordering WatchLive Pro you will instantly receive an email containing your registration code and a link to download the Config Wizard. You will first need to create your username and password by registering. After you register you will be able to utilize the Config Wizard program to install the software to the computer you wish to monitor.

After you have registered, run the Config Wizard download link from the order email and follow the screens. After the software is installed you should click the option to remove the Config Wizard. After that then wait about ten minutes for the PC to make a first upload. Then you can login to your control panel to view results or connect to the LIVE Control Panel.

Click a link in the outline below to learn more about that phase of the process.

FIVE BASIC STEPS TO SETUP AND USAGE OF WATCHLIVE PRO

  • Purchase to obtain your registration number and download.
  • Register to create your username and password for the system.
  • Install using the Config Wizard on the computer you wish to monitor.
  • View Activity by waiting 10 minutes and then logging to your account.
  • Go Live using the LIVE Control Panel to view the screen and more.

Now that you know a little more about how the process works, let's begin by registering your account as described below.


 Registering Your Account

After your order is complete you will instantly receive an email containing instructions to register. This email will contain your registration code and a link to download the Config Wizard. You will need both of these items for the installation process.

You will use the Config Wizard to install to the computer you wish to monitor. But you can't install until you have created your username and password. To create your username and password you need to simply register your account. Registration can be done from any computer.

To register, go to the registration page which is shown below. After you have reached the Create Account page, read each section carefully to make sure you stay within the accepted characters.

Username/Password
Enter a username / password you wish to use. Up to 60 characters each.

Registration Number
Copy and Paste the registration number from your order email.

After you have completed all fields, click SUBMIT to create your account.
You can then use the Config Wizard to install to the monitored computer.



 Install Using Config Wizard

Now that you have registered your username and password, you can install the software to the computer you wish to monitor. Your order email contains a link to install the Config Wizard. You will need to run this program while sitting at the computer you wish to monitor.

So if you purchased from a different computer and can't access your email from any web connection, you should signup for a webmail account such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail. This will enable you to forward the order email to your webmail. Then you can access the link to download by opening your webmail on the computer to be monitored.

An alternate way is to download the Config Wizard program and place it on a flash drive or CD. Then take it to the computer to be monitored to install. Simply run the file from the disk.

After you install and run the Config Wizard program you will be brought to a screen as shown below. The Config Wizard consists of five screens which you can navigate by clicking BACK or NEXT on the program itself. Follow the five screens (steps) as outlined below. The program also includes instructions on each step.

Step One: Welcome
Enter the username and password you created during registration.

Step Two: Settings
Choose the activities you wish to monitor.

Step Three: Alert Options
Choose whether or not to alert the user they are being monitored.

Step Four: Install Program
Click to start the installation of the invisible monitoring software.

Step Five: Setup Complete
You should now click the Uninstall Config Wizard link to remove the
installer. This will leave the invisible software on the computer.


After you have installed the invisible software and removed the Config Wizard, you are ready to start using WatchLive Pro. The first logs will upload in approximately six minutes after you have installed. At that point you can use any feature of the software. The next section describes how to access your Online Control Panel to start using the software.

 Viewing Activity


Now that the software is installed and six minutes have passed, you can login to your Online Control Panel to view the first logs. You can login to this panel anytime from any computer with a web connection. You can even login on a PDA or cell phone's web browser.

Logging Into Your Account
When you are ready to login to your account to check, enter your username and password into the fields below and click LOGIN. This login box can also be found on the main and login pages of our site at www.watchlivepro.com. Be sure to enter your username and password EXACTLY as you did upon account creation. Your username and password are case-sensitive.


USERNAME PASSWORD


Inside Your Account
Once you are inside your account, your screen should look something like the one below. Inside your account there are three groups of commands on the left side. Each group contains a specific set of commands. These groups are outlined below.

WatchLive Pro Online Control Panel Screenshot

Log Viewer
This is where you view all activities with the exception of chats.
You can also access the LIVE Control Panel here.

Recorded Chats
This is where you select which chat program log you want to view.

Tools/Utilities
Various log utilities, password change, system info and uninstall.

The menu at the top of the online control panel also contains links
to some of the most commonly used commands.

Log Viewers
Each type of recording is saved into a separate log section for your convenience. All log viewer pages work the same. You can sort results by any column by pressing the sort arrow icon. You can clear all logs within each category by clicking the Clear Logs button. You can also select to show only a specific user's results if there are multiple users on your PC.

You can do a global search of logs in your account for any keyword you wish. Simply click the Search Logs link in the Tools section of the menu. Then enter your query. Results will be displayed for any matches found in ANY log type!

Deleting Logs
The log files within each logging category can be deleted by clicking the Clear Logs button on a log page. Additionally you can choose to clear ALL logs by clicking the appropriate link in the Tools / Utilities section of the left menu. Only erase logs if you are sure you want them erased. They cannot be recovered. You can select multiple files for deletion at once.

System Information
WatchLive Pro saves the latest system information from your monitored computer. To access this powerful feature click the Sys-Info button at the top of your online control panel. You will be shown the most recent system statistics and info about the remote PC.

Change Password
Changing your password is very easy and can be done at any time. It will not interfere with the operation of WatchLive Pro on the remote PC. To change your password, go to your online control panel and click the Change Password link in the Tools section at left. Insert the appropriate fields and click submit. Your password will then be changed.

Configure WatchLive Pro
You can adjust settings from within the online control panel. Please note you should not be in LIVE mode when you change settings. So anytime you want to change settings, first logout of your account and then log back in. This will verify that you are not in LIVE mode.

Then click the Configure WatchLive Pro link in the Tools menu. Then adjust your settings accordingly and click Save. The settings will be changed on your remote machine at the next automatic connection which is usually within six minutes if the PC is online.

Saving Logs Offline
Saving logs for offline use is as easy as going to File > Save As and naming the file. You will then be able to access that page at any time in the future by looking at the file using My Computer. The file can also be printed for a hard copy of evidence. For screenshot images, just right-click the image and go to Save Picture As, then choose a folder and name to save the image as.

Removing WatchLive Pro
When you want to remove WatchLive Pro from your PC, login to your online control panel. Then click the Uninstall WatchLive Pro link in the Tools section. Then click YES to confirm. Your account will then be deactivated for new logs. The software will then remove itself the next time it makes a connection. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to install again you will need to first reactivate your account in your control panel BEFORE you install again.

 Using the LIVE Control Panel


The LIVE Control Panel is where you will be able to view the screen live, navigate the file system and perform other admin commands. After you install WatchLive Pro for the first time, you should wait at least six minutes before attempting to connect to the LIVE Control Panel. This allows time for the computer to make the first connection to the server.

Using the LIVE Control Panel
To use the LIVE Control Panel feature of WatchLive Pro, click the link at the left menu inside your account. You will then be brought to the connection screen. If your remote PC is online, you will be connected within one minute. Once connected the LIVE Control Panel interface will appear on your screen. There you can click any command in the left menu to be performed on the remote PC. Each time you issue a command it will be sent to your remote PC immediately. Then within 30 seconds your screen will refresh with a status update of the last command sent.

Please be aware that there are two different groups of commands in the left menu. The ADMIN commands are stealth commands. The CONTROL commands are for certain situations only. The CONTROL commands could cause your remote user to become suspicious. Therefore you should use these commands with caution. This includes sending a message, locking the mouse, launching a URL or application, hiding the taskbar and other commands. While these commands do not specifically state anything about WatchLive Pro, they do cause an action on the PC where the user will see the effect.

The LIVE screen viewer is one of the ADMIN commands. Click the View Desktop link in the menu. When you are ready to stop viewing the screen, close the window.

Very Important Note: Anytime you are finished with the LIVE Control Panel, be sure to click the "LOGOUT" link on the page to tell the remote machine to go out of LIVE mode and begin sending logs again. If you simply close your browser then your account will remain in LIVE mode and will not send logs until you re-login and then log back out!
