Installation
Run the Setup.exe. Please follow the instructions carefully.
Tip: It is very important to note the Escape Sequence that you enter during installation.
System Watchdog runs in the background and you need to enter this sequence to gain access to its control panel.
During the installation you will be prompted to licence your copy of System Watchdog. You can do this by USB dongle, licence file or your Plus! Network account.
Once the machine has rebooted System Watchdog will be running in the background.
You will find the following links in your start menu:
-
System Watchdog
-
Watchdog is run when the PC starts, but should you quit it you can use this link to start it again. This does not invoke the control panel.
-
-
System Watchdog Logs
-
Opens the folder that contains the System Watchdog log files.
-
- Uninstall System Watchdog
-
Licence Manager and PlusActiv8
-
Use these applications to manage your licence and activations.

Tip: If you are replacing the System Sentinel that was installed with the Acquire Player you must invoke and quit it before you can install. Once installed, you will have to set up the System Watchdog settings as it will not use the previous System Sentinel ones.
All new players now come with Watchdog
