If you possess a Splashtop Business license, Atera enables you to deploy your customized version of Splashtop Streamer. This empowers you to remotely access your end users' devices via Atera or directly through your Splashtop for Business instance.
Please be aware that by initiating a remote session from Atera, you will gain access to the integrated features provided by Atera. However, to utilize the features specific to your Splashtop license plan, it is necessary to initiate a remote session from Splashtop Business.
Create deployment package
The initial step to implementing your own Splashtop license involves creating a deployment package within the Splashtop management console.
To create the Deployment package:
1. Access your Splashtop console, then go to Management > Deployment.
The Deployment page will be displayed.
2. Click "Deploy" on the package that you wish to deploy on your devices within Atera. In case you don't have a Deployment package, simply create a new one by clicking "Create Deployment Package".
3. In the Deployment screen, make sure you select the option "Windows MSI version xxxxx ( Easy Deploy )".
4. Before clicking on "Download", you will need to open Developer tools on your Browser, F12 for Firefox and Chrome. In Developer tools, navigate to the Network Tab.
5. After opening Developer tools and navigating to the Network Tab, click the Download button. When you click the Download button, the Network Tab will be populated by multiple events.
Find the Event that contains the name of the installer:
- Splashtop_Streamer_Windows_DEPLOY_INSTALLER_vxxxx_xxxxxxx.msi
6. Open the specified event, then go to the Headers tab. Here we will find the Requested URL, which will be used for integrating your Splashtop license within Atera. Make sure to Copy and Save the URL
Modify deployment script
Once you've generated the Deployment package and saved the 12-digit Code and the Request URL, the next step involves modifying the following script.
#Download the .msi installer for Splashtop Streamer
curl -o "C:\Program Files\Atera Networks\AteraAgent\XXXX.msi" "YYYYYYYYYYYY"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 30
#Uninstall the current Splashtop Streamer from the device
$SplashtopStreamer = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object{$_.Name -eq "Splashtop Streamer"}
$SplashtopStreamer.Uninstall()
#Run the installation for Splashtop streamer .msi
$Parameters = '/norestart', '/qn', '/i', 'C:\Program Files\Atera Networks\AteraAgent\XXXX.msi', 'USERINFO="hidewindow=1,confirm_d=0"'
& msiexec.exe @Parameters
1. Next to the "curl - o" command, we have the first path that needs to be modified. This one to be more precise
"C:\Program Files\Atera Networks\AteraAgent\Splashtop_Streamer_Windows_DEPLOY_INSTALLER_vXXXX_XXXXXXXX.msi"
Replace the XXXX with the name of your Splashtop Streamer installer.
2. After you added the name of the Splashtop installer, go to the end of the same line and modify the contents of the brackets that contain "Y". Here, add the Request ULR that we have saved from Developer tools when generating the installer.
3. Next "$Parameters" command, has the second path that needs to be modified. This one to be more precise
'C:\Program Files\Atera Networks\AteraAgent\XXXX.msi'
Replace the XXXX with the name of your Splashtop Streamer installer.
Once the script has been modified, you can proceed to create it within Atera and execute it on your devices. To learn more about the process of creating and running scripts on your devices, please refer to the following articles.
