Techs should use these instructions to put an installation of TechIDClient on a second computer to get access to the same set of credentials from two (or more) computers. You should use these instructions if your company has setup TechIDManager and you have already been added as a tech to the system on one computer.
We at Ruffian Software Inc. attempt to provide a white glove installation service and process. We are happy to setup a meeting to do all these steps with you, and anyone in your company. If you want help, then book installation assistance.
