Adobe Onboarding Tasks

You will receive these setup files from Adobe Customer Care to install the DWB Workstation on your client computer.
Your custom DWB configuration file (Insight.cfg)
This configuration file on the client computer will include connections to your managed DWB servers.
Login credentials for the Licensing Portal to download the DWB Setup Wizard and required certificate (.pem file) with the name of your primary user.

Browse to: license.visualsciences.com to download you license certificate and the DWB Setup Wizard executable.
Enter your Organization (Account Name), the name of the primary User, and the Password that you received from Adobe Customer Care, then click login.
Your browser might prompt you to present a digital certificate at this point. If it does, click Cancel to dismiss the dialog box.
Locate the certificate issued for your instance of Adobe Data Workbench (<PrimaryUser>
.pem) in the Downloads section and download.
Locate Standard Client Installer in the Downloads section to download the DWB Setup Wizard (InsightSetup-x.xx.exe file).
After receiving and downloading files from Adobe Customer Care, run the DWB Setup Wizard to install the workstation software to your client computer.
The DWB Setup Wizard will walk you through installation of the DWB client workstation and help locate the Insight.cfg and <PrimaryUser>
.pem files to place in the required folders. The Insight.cfg file resides with the Insight.exe file in your installed client workstation. The <PrimaryUser>
.pem file resides in the Certificates folder with the trust_ca_cert.pem file. All certificate and configuration files must be present for DWB to function.
For additional information, see the DWB Setup Wizard.
Your managed servers are identified in the Insight.cfg file that you receive from Adobe Customer Care and resides on your client workstation. Adobe TechOps will set up your servers and Adobe Customer Care will add references to these managed servers and profiles to the Insight.cfg file before sending it to you. (The Configure connections to server in step 12 of the DWB Setup Wizard documentation will be completed.)
In the Workstation Configuration workspace on the DWB client workstation, you will be able to see your connected servers and profiles.
