used as the viewLinc browser, report and notification default language. The default
language can be changed after installation is complete.
Users can change the browser language at log in. The language used in their reports and notifications is set in each user's profile. - Start the installation wizard.
- Enter your license key.

Choose your certificate and security key files:
- Upload a purchased certificate and key (trusted)
- Choose this option if you already have the files and they are available on your network.
- Generate a certificate and key (viewLinc-signed)
- Enter your site and company details (if you plan to use a trusted certificate, the Hostname must be a fully qualified domain name, such as viewLincESname.yourcompanyname.com). The installation wizard automatically generates a viewLinc-signed certificate and key file. These files are installed on the server the first time the admin user logs into viewLinc. You can replace the generated files with trusted files at any time.
For frequently asked questions about security certificates, see Security Certificate Management Tips. - Select Install to complete the installation wizard.
When installation is complete you can set up your devices or begin viewLinc configuration (see Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring System Setup Guide).
