Getting Started
STEP 1: Install VZAccess Manager

CD front end runs and presents you with several options.
At this point, you can proceed with the VZAccess Manager
setup or exit the setup process.
2. Choose the “Install VZAccess Manager” option to begin
the installation process. The VZAccess Manager installation
program opens. Click “Next.”
3. A License Agreement dialog box appears. If you agree
to be bound by it, click “I agree…” followed by “Next”
to continue.

and press “Next.”
5. Click “Next” to start the installation process.
After the files are copied to your notebook computer, the
Installation Complete dialog box appears. When you press
“Finish,” VZAccess Manager automatically starts.

properly installed. If VZ Access Manager does not open automatically, you can launch it from your “Start” menu.

(Your experience in Step 4 may be different, depending on
your selection.) Click “Next” to continue.

notebook computer. If your notebook computer has a
