Congratulations on your purchase of AVG File Server 2012!

Note: This documentation contains description of specific File Server Edition features. Should you
require information about other AVG features, please consult the user guide to Internet Security
edition, which contains all the necessary details. You can download the guide from the http://www.
To install AVG on your computer, you need to get the latest installation file. You can use the
installation file from the CD that is a part of your box edition but this file might be out-of-date.
Therefore we recommended getting the latest installation file online. You can download the file from
the AVG website (at http://www.avg.com/download?prd=msw)
Note: There are two installation packages available for your product - for 32bit operating systems
(marked as x86) and for 64bit operating systems (marked as x64). Be sure to use the correct
installation package for your specific operating system.
During the installation process you will be asked for your license number. Please make sure you
have it available before starting the installation. The number can be found in the CD packaging. If you
purchased your copy of AVG on-line, your license number will have been delivered to you via e-mail.
Once you have downloaded and saved the installation file on your hard drive, you can launch the
installation process. The installation is a sequence of dialog windows with a brief description of what
do at each step. In the following, we offer an explanation for each dialog window:
3.1. Installation Launch
The installation process starts with the Welcome window. In here you select the language used for
the installation process and read the license conditions. Use the Printable version button to open
the license text in a new window. Press the Accept button to confirm and continue to the next
dialog.
Attention: You will be able to choose also additional languages for the application interface later
during the installation process.
In the Activate your License dialog you have to fill in your license number.
Enter your license number into the License Number text field. The license number will be in the
confirmation e-mail that you received after purchasing your AVG on-line. You must type in the
number exactly as shown. If the digital form of the license number is available (in the email), it is
recommended to use the copy and paste method to insert it.
Press the Next button to continue the installation process.
The Select type of Installation dialog offers the choice of two installation options: Quick Install and
Custom Install.
For most users, it is highly recommended to keep to the Quick Install that installs AVG in fully
automatic mode with settings predefined by the program vendor. This configuration provides
maximum security combined with the optimal use of resources. In the future, if the need arises to
change the configuration, you will always have the possibility to do so directly in the AVG
application.
Custom Install should only be used by experienced users who have a valid reason to install AVG
with non-standard settings. E.g. to fit specific system requirements.
