Getting Started

Set up your Pckgr account, enroll your first device, and deploy an app in minutes.

Creating an Account

  1. Go to the Pckgr portal and click Sign up.
  2. Enter your email, display name, company name, and a password.
  3. If your organization uses Microsoft SSO, you can also click Sign in with Microsoft to create your account.
  4. After registration, you'll be taken to the dashboard.

Your account is automatically set up with a default tenant and a free-tier device allocation.

Signing In

  1. Go to the Pckgr portal and enter your email and password.
  2. If your account has two-factor authentication enabled, you'll receive a 6-digit code by email. Enter it on the verification screen.
  3. If SSO is configured, you can click Sign in with Microsoft instead.

If your session expires, you'll be redirected to the sign-in page. After signing in, you'll return to the page you were on.

Accepting an Invite

If a team member invites you to their Pckgr account:

  1. Check your email for the invitation link.
  2. Click the link to open the invite acceptance page.
  3. Set your display name and password.
  4. You'll be signed in with access to the tenants your invite specifies.

Your First Deployment

Follow these steps to deploy an application to a device:

1

Create an Enrollment Token

Install the Agent

On the Windows device you want to manage, open a command prompt as Administrator and run:

msiexec /i pckgr-agent.msi /qn ENROLLMENT_TOKEN="<your-token>"

The agent installs as a Windows service and enrolls the device automatically. Within a minute, the device should appear on the Devices page.

To enroll a Mac instead, see Installing the Agent on macOS.
