Installing Rover

To install Rover download the application zip file from the Catch website https://catchsoftware.com/enterprise-tester-platform-edition/rover/.
Unzip the files and run the ET Rover file (type is "application", you will recognize it by its green icon). This will automatically launch Rover on your Windows machine or device.
The Login screen will launch. You can pin the application to your start menu or your task bar to make it easier to launch the application.
Advice for Multi User Devices
If your machine or device is used by multiple people (e.g. pool resource), then we recommend that you install Rover into a directory that is associated with your personal profile rather than a shared directory.
The first time you log into the client, you will need to be able to connect to your Enterprise Tester server. This may mean that you need to be connected to the internet or be able to access your corporate or office network.
From the Login screen, enter in your Enterprise Tester Server URL, username and password.
If you do not have a Rover license applied to your installation of Enterprise Tester on the server, a message will appear alerting you that the license is missing or expired. If you see this message please contact your Enterprise Tester system administration to check your Rover license.
