This topic is for Devolutions Server Enterprise Edition. If you have purchased Devolutions Server Team Edition instead, please consult Team Edition .
After completing your purchase of Devolutions Server Enterprise Edition, you will receive an email with three license serials. Each license serial allows for running a Devolutions Server instance. An instance is in itself a web server application which acts as a back-end for our client applications. You can think of it as a specialized database for your data. All instances can be installed on the same physical server or spread across many.
Devolutions Server can be installed through different topologies .
Domain requirements
These requirements apply especially if you intend to use Automatic User Account Creation (see Authentication ) and/or User Groups to manage your instance.
|
Create Active Directory groups to manage your instance. Typical examples are: RDM Admins, RDM Operators, RDM Users . |
![]() |
Add domain users to the Active Directory groups. |

Create a VaultOwner account that will be the owner of the database. Performing upgrades with this account will ensure the proper rights are held. |
![]() |
Create a VaultRunner account that will be used as the identity of the website. This will allow you to harden the permissions to what is minimally required. |
