From sign-up to your first job in four steps.

Sign up with your work email and verify it. Your workspace is a private, single-tenant slice of obot cloud — invite teammates and assign roles from the Admin area once you're in.

Install the agent on each simulation machine that should run jobs. It's a single Windows service — the old launcher, license-monitor and file-browser services are all folded into it. Laptops that run their own sims use the Desktop bundle instead.

# 1 · ensure the .NET 10 Windows Desktop Runtime (x64) is installed
# 2 · run the setup bundle and click Install
obot_services_setup.exe
# the registration window opens automatically when setup finishes

A machine runs either the Services SKU or the Desktop SKU — not both. The installer enforces this.

In the registration window, enter your obot URL and click Register. The agent generates a machine code and opens your browser to the enrollment page. Sign in as an admin, name the machine, and turn on what it should do. There are no config files to edit by hand — the agent learns everything it needs from the server during enrollment.

Within a few seconds the machine shows as active in the web UI. Head to Jobs, click + Job, point it at your case file and submit — obot queues it and dispatches to an eligible machine with a free license.
