Installation

Before installing the Server Restart Option, install your PowerKey Pro unit as described in the user manual.

If restarting a crashed computer is your primary use for PowerKey Pro, you should plug the CPU into a switched outlet, even if it has Soft Power. This allows PowerKey Pro to switch power to the computer's outlet, which will more reliably restart the computer.

To install the Server Restart Option, you must enter your activation code. This code will have been given to you either verbally over the phone, via e-mail, or sent to you on your packing slip.

For a limited time, the Server Restart Option comes pre-installed in PowerKey Pro Model 600. No activation code is necessary to use these features, and you may skip the installation procedure on this page.

1. If you are using version 3.1.1 or earlier of the PowerKey Pro software, download and unstuff the current PowerKey Pro updater.

2. Open the PowerKey Update folder (or, if your PowerKey Pro came with version 3.2 or newer, insert your PowerKey Pro disk), and double-click on the Installer.

3. Select "Custom Install" from the pop-up menu at the top-left corner of the Installer window.

4. Select "Install Server Restart Option" from the list, and click Install.

5. Type your activator code into the dialog box. The Installer will then enable your PowerKey Pro with the Server Restart Option features.

Once your PowerKey Pro unit has been enabled, it will remain so forever. You can connect it to another Mac, as long as it is running version 3.2 or later of the PowerKey software, and the Server Restart Option features will be available.
