Setup Technicians with TechIDClient.Windows (10 minutes)

This is the third step from the Install Instructions for TechIDManager.

This set of instructions is to set your technician account up, and then once a manager actives your TechIDManager tech account you will have accounts created for you on clients’ networks and they will show up on the Managed Password tab of the TechIDClient.

We are happy to setup a meeting to do all these steps with you and anyone in your company. If you need assistance, please book installation assistance.
