10. It's time to set up the computers you want to unlock with a GateKeeper token. Every computer that you'd like to unlock with GateKeeper requires the Client application to be installed. There is no limit to the number of computers you can add. The application can be downloaded from the GateKeeper Hub Downloads tab or from your customer portal.

The GateKeeper Client software requires Bluetooth 4.0 enabled on the computer to communicate with the GateKeeper tokens. When the client software is installed, it will automatically check if a compatible Bluetooth sensor is installed. If there is no compatible internal Bluetooth sensor installed, a GateKeeper USB Proximity sensor is required.  If no sensor is available, the Bluetooth counter on the Client dashboard will report a "0". 

Installing the GateKeeper Client App

There are 3 options for installing the GateKeeper Client application.

• METHOD 1: DIRECT INSTALL
• METHOD 2: SILENT INSTALL
• METHOD 3: WINDOWS GROUP POLICY (GPO)

12. Understanding and setting up Groups in GateKeeper. Groups are important for deciding which user will unlock which computer and with which unlock method. The default unlock option will be GateKeeper token + PIN. New computers and users added to the GateKeeper Hub will automatically appear in the Organization group. This will give users access to every computer in the group. A computer can only be in one group at a time. However, users can be in multiple groups at the same time. 

For the purposes of the trial, all users can remain in the same Group. If you'd like to set up separate Groups for computers with different unlock options, please see the following knowledge articles.
