2.1 Configure Your Organization’s Lab Address

Before installing for the first time, you need to set the address(es) of your organization’s computer lab(s). The D5 Lab-edition client can only be installed and used within the specified address range(s).

You may configure up to three different addresses.

2.2 Download the D5 Lab Installer

Once the lab address has been configured, click [Lab Installer] to download the installation package through your browser.

3. Installation

3.1 Secret Key

The Secret Key is a security measure to protect your account and prevent unauthorized resource usage.

How to Get the Secret Key

1. Log into the LAB Management backend https://lab.d5render.com/seat

2. Select Lab Details.

3. Select Management.

4. Copy the Secret Key.

If your Secret Key is compromised or needs to be updated, click Change Secret Key. You will be asked to verify your identity via email before the change is applied. Once updated, the previous key becomes invalid immediately, and the new key will be required for any future installations. Existing devices that are already activated will remain unaffected.

3.2 Script Installation Guide

We provide two installation methods. Please choose the one that best suits your needs. If you require batch installation, we recommend using Method 2: Silent Installation.

3.2.1 Standard installation

1) Navigate to the folder where the installation package is stored. Click the address bar, type cmd, and press Enter to open the Command Prompt in that directory.

2) Run the following command, replacing [Latest_Installer_File_Name].exe with the actual installer file name from the Lab Management Backend, and xxxx with your Installation Key (labSecret):

"[Latest_Installer_File_Name].exe" -labSecret=xxxx (for demonstration purpose only)

Example (for demonstration purpose only):

3.2.2 Silent installation

1) Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the directory containing the installation package.

2) Enter the following command, separating each parameter with a space. Be sure to use double quotes where required.

Again, replace [Latest_Installer_File_Name].exe with the actual installer file name from the Lab Management Backend, and xxxx with your Installation Key (labSecret):

• "[Latest_Installer_File_Name].exe" [Required - Use the latest installer from the Lab Management Backend]

• labSecret=xxxx [Required - Replace xxxx with your Installation Key]

• silent=true [Required]

• installPath="xxx" [Required - Target installation directory] e.g., -installPath="D:\D5 Lab"

• workspacePath="xxx" [Optional - Path for asset storage] e.g., -workspacePath="D:\D5Lab Workspace"

• agreeEula [Required - Indicates acceptance of the EULA]

• isForCurrentUser=true [Optional - Enabled by default]

Example (for demonstration purpose only):

"D5_Render_installer-2.9.5.0534.exe" -labSecret=xxxx -silent=true -installPath="D:\D5 Lab" -workspacePath="D:\D5Lab Workspace" -agreeEula -isForCurrentUser=true

Batch Installation

Batch installation requires the use of a computer lab management system. Since each computer lab's setup may vary, detailed instructions are not provided here. If you encounter any issues, please contact your D5 point of contact or reach out to us at [email protected].
