Preparations

Let's first prepare a machine that will be used as the remote server.

Step 1: Prepare a Windows Server 2019 or 2022 (64-bit) machine. (Note: Do not use Windows Desktop machine, such as Windows 11 or 10, which supports only local deployment, no remote deployment)

Obtain the IP address of the machine by executing "ipconfig" in a command prompt window. The IP address used in this guide is 172.16.100.35. You should replace it with the IP address of your own server.

Step 2: Make sure the machine can connect to the Appeon license server (for activating and validating the PowerServer license).

Step 3: If firewall is turned on, configure the firewall to allow the port number (80 in this guide or any port number you choose). The section "Configuring Windows Defender Firewall" has detailed instructions.
